Do you hear what I hear??? These are sounds that I hear very often. All the rain that we have been getting in the last few weeks has been crazy, I basically have gotten used to it. I chose to throw in the traffic sounds also because I am always stuck in traffic on my […]

Here is the original assignment. What does it mean to lead? How can one inspire? Steve Jobs had what it took to convince the world that computers were essential to the home experience.

This quote means a … Continue reading Innovation

How did your group go about choosing a theme and organizing itself? Our group used Canvas discussions to share ideas and organize our show.

The easiest part … Continue reading Radio Show Reflection →

These two weeks for kind of relaxing since the assignments got to be spread out. Having worked with audio extensively in this course has made me grow more accustomed to doing audio.

Our show resembles the National Public Radio show, in that our show is divided into segments that talk about various topics. In our current show, we tell news, sports, music, and positive stories. Our transitions between segments have a bit of rock and blues, as we felt our name carried those themes. This bumper uses a … Continue reading Digital Story Fellers Bumper

It turns out, when you slow a song down by about 800%, the song itself becomes an ambiance that is art in itself. One of my favorite songs is called The Flavor of … Continue reading Flavor of Life
