This is the website for my P2E project for this year. Last year I used Google Sites to do this whole thing. This year, after recording and doing all of the other work, I decided to make this website. Also, Claude.ai helped me make this page look WAY better, so check it out.
Episode Created
This is the podcast that I created this year for my P2E project. I am very interested in the news, so I just decided to create a podcast that would cover the news for that week. Originally, the plan was to record several episodes, maybe up until May or so, but after dealing with the tough process of recording, editing, and finding all of the right tools, I decided to only record 1 episode, which was from late March as you can tell from the recording. I used the easiest editing tool, CapCut, to edit my podcast. However, after losing the CapCut file, I encountered some technical difficulties and that is why the audio is rather hard to hear in the second section. I also used Fish Audio (sadly now not free) to create the Joe Biden and Donald Trump advertisement for my podcast. I also used one other AI tool to generate the two other AI voices heard in my podcast.
The whole process was quite interesting. We first had to get our project approved by Mrs. Lesiak. When I ran my podcast idea by her, she thought that it was a very interesting idea. She pointed out that there was a lot of topics in the news which I might have wanted to cover. Once we had our research, our next job was to create the podcast scripts. This was somewhat difficult, because I'm not very good at writing anything. However, I managed to write the script, and I think it came out fairly well. As I said, the plan was originally to record multiple episodes, but that proved to be impossible because of the time it took to find the correct tools and edit everything. Mrs. Lesiak also had professional podcasting equipment that we could have used to record our podcasts, but I also decided against that because it was simply easier to edit and record the podcast at home. We also had to create an advertisement, which I used the ElonTalks website to do by creating a video of Trump, Biden, and Obama endorsing my podcast, respectively. Finally, we had to create the posterboard, which you may or may not have been able to go to my station and see.
For my posterboard, I really had no idea what to do. My project was just some random podcast about the news, so why would people want to just see news events? So on my posterboard, I focused on the media and its history. I also focused on media bias and the highly negative impact that it has on our society today. I also decided to summarize the top five news events from last year, because I thought that that was highly important as well given that this is a news podcast.
