Podcast Term 4 – Amy-paigel

What was easy/hard?

The easiest thing for me was making the blogs and the process. I also found the part when we record the script was quite easy.

“The hardest part was making the script and gathering the information needed. Another thing I also struggles on was finding someone to interview because everyone was busy or had already been interviewed.”

which task do you enjoy the most?

“I liked recording the script the most, and interviewing people.
I liked to see other people’s view on Kaitiakitanga and how they’re learning about it in their steam workshops.”

how does your podcast relate to Kaitiakitanga ?

”We talked about Kaitiakitanga through insects and how they help our environment, specifically through the giant wēta. Because they are such great companions in helping the environment/us.”

tips to make a better podcast for the future.

“Tip one is make a script for what you want to say but add some improv to add a little spice”

“Tip two is to always practice your script a few times before you record your final recording.”

“Tip three is to research your topic and if you find a fact, find another source to confirm if it’s true,”

“Tip four is to make an even amount of text for each of you so it’s fair.”

“Tip five is that you make sure that you always do your work and don’t go off task.”

“Tip six is to find a way to back up your ideas, for example if you say something about dragonflies and how they’re very mean to their own species, back that text up with a fact about dragonflies that connects to their personality”

“Tip seven is to change the way you might think of things into another perspective. Eg when some people I are talking about their opinion in something, don’t argue with them think through what they said and Find a way to connect your opinion to there.

“Tip eight is to not go off topic eg when you talk about elephants then a few episodes later talk about the smallest bird in the world)
