I edited both episodes of the podcast using Adobe Premiere Pro, a video editing program, because it has all the features that I need to edit the audio and I have a lot of experience editing with Premiere Pro which made me able to edit the podcasts quickly and comfortably.

Recordings

Erina and Hugo recorded the audios for the podcast and they sent me the raw recording of the podcast. I started editing by cutting out all the mistakes and stutters and making sure the timing between each sentences and words sound natural, not too fast and not too slow. I also made sure there was not too much background noise on the audio so it will sound more high-quality.


BGM and SFX

I searched for non-copyrighted songs on Youtube and Google for our podcast intro song and for the BGM. I decided to use Too Crazy By David Fesliyan as our podcast intro and a few of his other songs and songs by other artists as BGM.

Here are the links of the songs I used for the BGM:

I found a very good website to find sound effects for our podcast, https://freesound.org. Freesound.org is a platform where people can upload and download non-copyrighted SFX for free just by creating an account and logging in. 


For most of the SFX on our podcast, I took it from freesound.org but for some of the SFX I couldn't find a fitting one so I decided to record them on my own with the voice memo app on my Macbook and things I have in my house.

I wiggled around and dropped papers and a book on the table to make a SFX of someone dropping/placing files and a stack of papers on the table. I also unfolded paper to make a SFX of opening a letter/envelope



.          


For the dialogues, I added an old radio/telephone effect on it to make it sound like a playback of a real recording from decades ago. I didn't know how to add this effect at first so I followed this tutorial on YouTube.


To make the transitions of the recordings and BGM sound natural and not choppy I used the audio transition 'Exponential Fade' which is provided on the program.

Media Studies Theories + Case Studies

Hypodermic Needle Theory  Not really considered a working theory any more. The belief that the audience is a sponge, and accepts any message from the media without any question.

Cultivation Theory - George Gerbner Exposure to media over time will reinforce existing ideologies.

Henry Jenkins's Fandom Theory and Participatory Culture

Consumers - people who sees the particular text as a disposable commodity Fans -  devoted followers of media texts who actively engage with the products to construct their own meanings and interpretations beyond the original message. Stereotypical fan behaviors: cosplay their favorite characters, write fan fiction, post their own theories online, and form new subcultures based on the product. Henry Jenkin's Fandom Theory Suggests that fans play a key role in the media (production, distribution and consumption process) - Production: fans send or post their feedbacks or suggestions regarding the media text to the producer - Distribution: fans comment, retweet and share posts about their favorite media texts to increase engagement and encourage other people to consume the text.  - Consumption/Exhibition: fans consume media text and construct & share their own interpretation of the meaning of the product to other fans. Productivity in Fandom:  - Semiotic productivity - Refers to t
