I knew I wanted to create something spooky for this assignment, so I utilized ChatGPT (for the very first time! In order to save brain space for the meatier aspects of this assignment) to generate a short &#8220;Unsolved Murders&#8221; reminiscent script, and <em>Maple Street Murder<\/em> was born. The overall vision for this podcast would be to follow this particular (fictional) case alluded to in the narration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since I recruited my boyfriend for the audio narration, both of our names are on the title card with the idea that we would be hosting together. We used my closet as our sound booth to record the audio narration portion. I found the PERFECT &#8220;The X-Files&#8221; vibe music to accompany the narration (I gasped at how well they went together!) I was also able to find a spooky\/ethereal forest ambience audio that complemented the other two audios well. I then added a couple fades, as well as a podcast filter for his voice. I am overall very happy with how this turned out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Maple-Street-Murder-1.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The podcast &#8220;Maple Street Murder&#8221; by Melody Murray is licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/4.0\/\">CC BY-NC 4.0.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Visual- <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Maple Street Murder&#8221; by Melody Murray, licensed <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\">CC BY 4.0<\/a>, derivative of original design template by @lutberbel via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/help\/give-credit-canva-element-creators\/\">Canva.com<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Audio- <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/music\/1000-handz\/ccby-free-to-use-halloweenspooky-instrumentals\/x-man\/\">X Man<\/a>&nbsp;by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/music\/1000-handz\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1000 Handz<\/a>, licensed <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\">CC BY 4.0<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/klankbeeld\/sounds\/751964\/\">horror forest NL 1209 PM 240531_0730<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/klankbeeld\/\">klankbeeld<\/a> found on <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/klankbeeld\/sounds\/751964\/\">freesound.org,<\/a> licensed under<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"> CC BY 4.0<\/a>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Maple Street Murder narration&#8221; by Zach K., licensed <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/4.0\/\">CC BY-NC 4.0<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Script-<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>OpenAI.
