Creating a podcast for the first time!

    Hello everyone, how have you been doing? Today I want to talk about an assignment I was given: creating a podcast. I also learned that there are many types of them. So i had the chance to choose between creating a box-pop, a sound rich story or a 60 second idea to improve the world which is also a series on BBC. I went for the last one. The most important factor is, it has to be exactly 60 seconds. I think it’s a nice little challenge. The title of my podcast is “Why should we try to implement mindfulness practices to the education system?” For 60 seconds, I talked about how mindfulness practices can contribute to students’ wellbeing (here it is : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u9YhgxDXwX0lpMGimuqi7LodfA46LnSz/view?usp=drivesdk). Even though I found the assignment quite easy, the creation process was a bit stressful for me. The first reason for that is it kind of overlapped with my midterms so I couldn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to. However, since I was stressed I started to meditate once in a while and it actually inspired me to choose this topic. Another challenge of this assignment was the fact that I’ve uploaded my podcast to the internet. Since I am a bit cautious about leaving a digital footprint, it was really out of my comfort zone but I’m  trying to have a positive attitude about it.

What about you? Do you like podcasts or have you ever tried to create one? Let me know in the comments. Take care!
