Here are some of my ideas for a collaborative radio show! share funny stories/memories from our childhood talk about our highs and lows of college – favorite memories, hardest assignments, hardest classes, friends we made, etc. talk about our majors – what we love about it, what we hate, how people reacted when we told […]
This was my first time live tweeting while listening to something. The story itself was super creepy and kind of made me question my own dreams and why they happen. The sounds in this story were so unique to the time period, from the static of the microphone, to the old school sound effects used. […]
I’m gonna be honest. I do not enjoy listening to podcasts and audio storytelling (apart from music) in general. I tend to become very bored very fast. I also get distracted very quickly and realize I don’t really know what is going on. I’m more of a visual person and and I understand the story better. However, the sound effects […]
When thinking about what my daily life sounds like, I though a lot about my work life. I work retail and getting up and going to work is a DRAG, but ya know, gotta get that $$. So, I thought it would be funny to make a shortened version of my daily struggle to get […]
February 22, 2021. It snowed pretty much all day today. This is a shot of some neighbourhood cedars in the snowfall, taken on my daily walk. Today was reasonably productive: I did a video session, wrong a blog post, and read a bunch of things/ But my e...
For my third assignment for this week, I chose to do a Ted Talk. The assignment was to listen to the way the speaker emphasized words and pauses, and try to recreate it using his speech. I’m always super nervous when it comes to public speaking, so this was definitely something that I needed practice […]
In the assignment bank this week, there was an assignment to change a rap song lyrics to post apocalyptic lyrics. I got the idea to change the “post apocalyptic” part to something Covid-19 related. This song came on the radio a few months ago and I substituted “September” with “Corona” and thought it would be […]
Below is my version of an ad on an 80’s radio commercial! I had background music that was popular in the 80’s and found a product that is actually becoming popular again!
I’m not gonna lie y’all, this week was a struggle! I have never worked with audio editing or Audacity before, so I was really intimidated by the workload for this week. I also ended up getting behind on my schoolwork, so that made doing creative work a little more difficult, but I think I’m actually…
For my first project this week, I decided to take on the Emotions Through Sound assignment. It asks you to convey a specific emotion using only sounds, but you can use any kind of sound you want. This assignment seemed like a good jumping-off point for me because I’ve never done any kind of audio…
Here is my radio bumper for ds106 radio! It was definitely a little strange making this. I tried to make my voice as smooth as possible (like most radio dj’s) but tried to make it fun and upbeat!
After listening to Moon Grafiti, it is evident what a key role sound plays in our ability to visualize information. Sound has the ability to set moods and create emotions. When listening to Moon Grafiti, I felt like I was there, in that moment, listening to them. The sound was so raw and real, the […]
Week five! Maybe its just me and my crazy schedule, but I feel like this semester has lasted a year already. I am having a lot of fun in this course and it feels like my break from the madness that is my endless cycle of work and homework. I took this as a general… Continue reading Week Five Summary

I found it really hard to keep attention to the story that was played during the radio show on Monday night. I am not sure why, but I will be working the next few nights when the radio show is on. I am just nervous that my participation wasn’t good enough because I couldn’t hear… Continue reading Radio
I was really nervous to do this assignment, especially because I am constantly in a house with 10 people living in it, so there is so place of peace and quiet. I knew I would have to do this assignment in a closet whispering because the mic needed to be close to my mouth in… Continue reading Bumper
There are really on four things that I love and that has never failed me. Money, food, sleep and SZA. Sadly, I could not find a good sound for sleep. But I blessed y’all with SZA’s beutiful voice and even more beuatiful lyrics. You&#...
This pandemic started with spring break and has yet to end. In my “story” I incorporate us packing for break, enjoing time on the beach, and then going home to never return again.
Do I even need to explain this? If you have seen this movie series then you know that this is the most iconic scene ever!!! When I read the assignment requirements I immediately knew what I wanted to do. I have some baseball sounds and then obvi...
For my this audio assignment the goal was to showcase some of your favorite sounds! I loved this assignment because I’m a big ASMR person; I use it every night to fall asleep. If you don’t know what ASMR is it’s basically someone making sounds like tapping, scratching, or whispering for the listener to relax. […]
If you’re a blogger, you’ve already done the hard part by creating great content — so you should share that content as widely as possible! One way is by giving your audience an audio option, as well as your written blog.
I have to admit that I’m not a super huge fan of listening to stories. Whether it’s an audiobook, a podcast, or a radio drama/story like “Moon Graffiti,” I have a really hard time actually listening to what’s going on. I get distracted very easily and then end up thinking of completely different things in…
My first time EVER listening to a story without visuals was last night when I listened to Moon Graffiti by The Truth Podcast. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve listened to my friends tell me stories about their days, radio shows, and my parents read to me as a kid–but in each of those scenarios I… Continue reading Men on the Moon
I know that I have done alot of posts about my dog, Biscuit, but can you blame me? She is too cute not to talk about!
I told a quick story about her on my soundcloud for the “Tell a Story” assignment. Enjoy!
I wanted to create a somewhat scary story for my sound. Here it is: Imagine you are just getting home from work on a rainy spring day. The birds are chirping, but the thunder and rain have made it very dark outside. You open your creaky door and notice a fire is crackling in your fireplace. That’s weird. […]
I’m really excited to make a radio show! I think our theme is very broad so there can be a lot of paths one could take with it. One idea could be an interview of group members to talk about “their story/experience” with COVID and ways of coping (in terms of school, hobbies etc…). Another idea could be […]
