Buried was by far the most popular project that I worked on podcasting. I mean, who doesn't love a mystery?
Working for National Public Radio means upholding the utmost professionalism, enthusiasm, and creativity in a very competitive market. Partnering with the lead reporter and host George Hale, we drove across the state to find our missing woman. Working with KETR involved a lot of organizational work: I sorted out episode content, wrote storyboards, took extensive notes, typed transcripts, scoured old newspapers, recorded and conducted interviews, edited audio, designed logos and PR material, and wrote theory after theory. I also worked to track podcast reach, audience, and progress. In addition to keeping the podcast organized and going, a lot of my job entailed interacting with the community and fans, de-escalating issues, and responding to angry emails professionally. I included a link to the podcast page below.
Points of Interest was my personal podcast that I created independently. I found and interviewed local East Texans and used their stories to create content and teach lessons. There were actually 2 versions of the show, but regrettably, some of my favorite episodes were lost in a hard drive failure incident. I found and edited the show's music and audio, wrote the script, and recorded and edited everything. From the generation of interview questions to editing out the sound of a fan in the background, I spent a lot of time in Adobe Audition. I also took photos to include with the stories.
I did the photography, recorded and transcribed interviews, and wrote news stories (in AP style). From city council meetings to city events and parties to campus events, I represented the radio station at community events. I videoed and edited interviews with the city manager over plans for city-wide changes. I also participated in the radio station's public drives to raise money and live streams for our fans. Additionally, I hosted radio shows on campus where I uploaded and selected music and did my own short news segments (mostly about recent news in gaming).
