“My Five” Podcast Project

You are to create a five minute podcast (like a radio show) using Audacity. You are required to have a script, a “theme song” (yes, singing…), sound effects, and “animated” presentation of your interview.  Here’s a video tutorial: http://youtu.be/-hrBbczS9I0

Your format should generally be as follows:

:15
Theme song/jingle (HINT: You might want to export and save an MP3 of your completed ‘song’ so you can import that part later to use at the end before you work on the rest of the podcast)

:30
Introduction (who you are, what you are covering). Tell them what you’re going to tell them (followed by ‘tell them’ and ‘tell them what you told them’). This will help a listener decide whether this podcast is something they want to listen to or not.

:60
Light content. Some snippets of information. Maybe a brief overview of who you interviewed and what you learned.

:120
Actual content from your interview story. Pick the best 120 seconds.

:45
Closing remarks. Include a general overview of the interview. What you felt were the results.

:15
Recap. A restatement of who you interviewed, when you interviewed them, and what the results were.

:15
Closing w/music (sign off)
