After the completion of the Questbridge podcast project, several significant lessons were brought to light, shaping my overall understanding of both the subject matter and the creation process.
Firstly, the experience of creating the Questbridge podcast highlighted the profound impact of technology in amplifying voices and advocating for social causes. The use of SoundCloud and Audacity not only amplified audio production but allowed us to convey the mission of Questbridge in a compelling and accessible way. This hands-on learning feature of audio technologies was very effective in promoting the proper learning of digital tools.
Additionally, the importance of effective storytelling emerged as a central theme throughout the project. Crafting the podcast in an advertisement-style format using a blend of information and emotion conveyed the power of “narrative” in conveying complex ideas and resonating with our target audience. Understanding how to communicate a message in a way that is both informative and emotionally engaging is another valuable skill that I learned in this course and look forward to using in the future.
In conclusion, the Questbridge podcast project and this course have been a transformative learning experience, providing insights into storytelling, and technology. These takeaways will extend beyond this course and will shape my future approach to projects and collaborations. I am grateful for the opportunity to apply theoretical concepts in a practical setting allowing myself to build proper foundational knowledge of the subject.
