Transferring to a 4 year college.

The topic of my podcast is transferring from a two-year community college to a 4-year college or university. I chose a person who I know is articulate to interview. The topic of this particular podcast is the process of completing your degree at a community college and then transferring to a university.

My goal in this pod was to highlight areas that would help our present students to start thinking about their future and transferring. Esther, the student in the recording brings up excellent tips, advice and real world experiences that will prove invaluable to current students.

One of the problems I encountered was that the person I interviewed was leaving on a trip back to her country of Panama and I had one shot at the podcast. I taped it and then went back and edited in AUDACITY. Not having the ability to ask her to re-record , it was more difficult than I had imagined to edit, amplify areas, paste in the music, re-record a portion that did not come out well with my voice and integrating back into the podcast. I also went the safe route and used Creative Common music, I would of loved to use Springsteen or the Beatles but feared prosecution, heavy fines and up to 5 years in the slammer.

For those who choose to listen, I hope you enjoy!
