So as Madi and I returned home a couple days early from Montreal, our new challenge was tackling the podcast that we had proposed to make about the Separatist Movement. In preparation for being home early, we crammed in extra interviews in our last days in Canada and we ended up with over and hour of Francophone and Anglophone people talking.
Sounds great right? Doesn't it sound great? We were proud.
Until we realized that someone had to comb through all that material over and over in order to make a podcast that was only 12 minutes and 7 seconds long (we compiled a slideshow of all of our pictures and that happened to be how long it was). At first I booted up garage band, and honestly I was having a grand old time. I imported all the material, I was sifting through it, making funny labels on all the tracks (such as "Super Intense Asian-Canadian Man"). I was thinking, I could stand to do this for a couple hours.
Well, a couple hours turned into a couple days, and the headaches I was getting from staring at a screen for that long were becoming rather distracting. I just crawled out of my Garage Band hole yesterday though with a squeaky clean, freshly finished podcast that I can be proud of (and it only has a few awkward pauses).
