This design project was influenced by Albums Without Sound. I simply followed the rules by finding a random article on Wikipedia, which led me to Kim-Young Ran. I then found a random quote, and stole the last five letters, which ended up being “…reveal not every secret.” Lastly, …
I present to you, my second published audio piece! It is my personal narrative about being a person of mixed-race.
I knew I wanted to do an audio piece on being mixed-race because the topic was both personal and compelling for me, but I didn’t know exactly how I …
Here is my final draft of my audio piece on dating for our class radio show!

Two daily/audio creates, here and here My produced vox pop piece Radio show plans The most annoying thing about this week is that I’ve discovered that I can’t listen to Soundcloud pieces directly on blogs. The embedded Soundcloud box is unable to load,…
