Podcast Hackathon:
In Podcast Hackathon, we made podcasts about this book, "A True Diary of A Part Time Indian". More specifically, we got characters in which we made podcasts about. Our group got Mary Spirit who is the older sister of the main character (Junior) of the book. The one thing that made my understanding deep is how you have to do intensive research and find "Hidden" characteristics about the character. You can just copy-paste quotes about the character but that would make the podcast boring. What you have to do is break the quote into parts and write it in your own words to where the audience will understand it clearly. Making a podcast isn't as easy as it sounds when it comes to actually recording. You have to be on top of your equipment to make sure it's on point so you don't have to record again. I also learned while I was editing the podcast that background music/audio is crucial for a podcast because it makes it more interesting for the audience.

Brainstorming Mary
|
Here is our brainstorm of what we would do for the podcast. Each person had a designated color to write in and my designated color was blue. We each had to write ideas on what our podcast would contain and my specific role was Mary's behavior. Our group did a great job on the brainstorming and we for sure didn't forget any crucial details.

Podcast Script
|
|
For the actual script of what we were going to record, our group decided to split the work up so no one would do any more work than others. I was assigned the last scene where Mary dies and also where the Fireman comes in and explains her death. Everyone had something to work on so we got straight into it and started to write the brainstorm ideas and refined them until we were satisfied with it.

Srum Board
|
The scrum board was specifically made for all groups so no one would slack off or do anything else except what was on the board. The board was really helpful because it kept our group on task and also helped us see where the other groups where at.

Final Podcast
|
When we recorded our scenes, we recorded at multiple locations such as Vons, In-N-Out, and in Dr.P's Office. I was assigned to be the one who did the editing and recording and was totally fine with it since I've done YouTube before. The equipment that was given to me was quite familiar since I knew how to work it. Some funny things that happened was when I altered the voices of the recordings so they sounded high pitched or low pitched.
