This audio project was a first for me and I believe that is represented in my work. I chose the simplest of the options, a podcast. My podcast came in the form of a conversation between my best friend and I and as the name explains, this conversation took place at 2:10 AM in his living room. The inspiration for this audio project came from a combination of necessity and genuine curiosity to see what we could do. I had never recorded an audio previously and had no experiencing editing either. After a short DIY tutorial of Audacity, I jumped right into recording. We quickly hit a wall on how to create an introduction, my solution was for my best friend to say the first thing that came to mind. I believe that’s the best way to introduce a conversation and the best podcasts are just conversations on various topics that convey information. As previously stated, I used audacity for this project. Audacity has a very interactive interface but is not easy to learn by any means.  Often, I found myself accidentally deleting my audio files and having to restart. Each time we restarted I came across a better application for the software that aided in the final production. Although I learned the software, I cannot claim that this project was easy. It was trying for me and forced me to step outside of my comfort zone. This was my first piece of audio artwork, and I am confident that It will be my last. I don’t consider myself to be an artistic person and creating this only exemplified it for me. Overall it was a fun learning experience and I can check “create a podcast” off my bucket list but I will not be doing it again.
