lab6 podcast
The background music i used in my podcast is Breathe which was originally created by AXL&ARTH. The clip was founded on jamende.com. Liscense for the song is cc-by. 
My podcast is about sport cars. So, I decide use something energetic even noisy as my BGM. The song fits well. I hope the audiences feel the fast pace and the energy, because that is what sports cars make people feel. 
The song was edited well, so I just let it start directly. And I think it is not brusque at all. Then I started talking when there was a drum beat coming. I tried to create a synch effect to make the cast sounds cool. After I started talking, the volume of music was turn down with a fade out effect, in order to enable the audience can hear me clearly. Then I add a sound track of the car’s engine as part of the intro. 
In the song, the singer starts singing at 1:43. That is where I stop talking, and I turned the volume of BGM up again.  By doing that, I  tried to imply the audience that I am going to talk more details. The brief introduction is over. Also, as I learned in module 7, when people are interrupted, they tend to memorize better, because the brains will regard the former information as unfinished. When there was noticeable drum beat appearing, I turned down the music and talked again. As I mentioned, I tried to create a synch effect. 
At last, I used a fade out effect to end my podcast.
