Last one

  Tuesday was a weird day. Cha and I finished up our podcast, and right now we are editing the last few pieces. This project has been fun from start to finish. Cha and I have been discussing continuing this podcast after school ends but we don't really know. It would be amazing because of all the support we have gotten in and around campus. Spring term was awesome. 

second to last

Monday cha and I recorded early afternoon. It was a slow morning which forced us to post-pone recording for the morning. We both felt like for our last podcast we should make it something special. We have a few good ideas for our last podcast. We recorded a puff piece, but our main segment should be really fun. Stay tuned

weekly reflection #2

This week was very interesting to say the least. From it being basically our last true week on campus to finding time to record our podcast, this past week was crazy. While I can’t say that I learned much about the podcasting experience, I can say that I learned a lot about how crazy life can get.  While trying to enjoy my last true week on this campus I was constantly reminded about how there was still work that needed to be done. Cha and I were constantly trying to come up with new and original ideas each and every day. We knew that the hype from our first podcast would die down after we released the second one. So trying to make sure our hype didn’t completely tank was a challenge. While this being in the back of our minds, we also wanted to enjoy Proctor as much as possible. With all the activities and games this week we found ourselves squeezing things in left and right. This reminded me of the fact that I will have to make time for things that I care about. I care about this po

We did nothing on Saturday. While cha was fine from his covid shot, I felt like garbage for most of the day. I only started to feel well that afternoon around 1-2pm. Since it was a Saturday and no one on campus had a game we ended up just not working on our podcast. While it's a shame we didn’t end up doing any work, I don’t think anything good would have come of it since I could barely get out of bed.

Today cha and I both got our vaccines, as did the rest of the school. Since cha got his shot mid-morning and I got mine around lunch, it left things in an awkward place. Since we both knew trying to record anything would be a stretch, we took the morning discussing our podcast. We talked about the feedback we had both gotten from what teachers and students had said to us,  to what we thought the podcast needed. This conversation lasted a while but was ultimately foiled by how nice of a day it was. We both being seniors feel the need to try and enjoy our last few days on this campus. Cha had a game so he ended up leaving after lunch and I went to the gym. I also enjoyed the afternoon with Saul watching the boys Varsity lacrosse game.   My Vaccine card

  Today we got down to business. As we woke up, it was a little strange but as the day went on we got back into our groove. We recorded a ton today. We spent the first half of the recording talking about our main topic. After we finished that up, we decided to play around with our podcast. We tried out some new ideas. From using other people's lists of rappers and discussing them to recording some video segments. As usual, we went back to the drawing board trying to come up with more ideas. Our next episode should be out late this week.  This was the song of the day.

Today, like yesterday, was a slow day. We spent the morning trying to figure out whether or not we were ready to record. We both felt that we needed more content, so we spent the morning coming up with ideas. We also took to our Instagram to see what viewers were saying about what they wanted to see out of us. We ended up recording that afternoon, although they were mostly puff segments. Today was such a nice day, so we spent a lot of time outside.  Took a picture of an apple tree to send to my family
