Initially, I was unsure how recording my podcast would go. I had no experience with the recording equipment and had only briefly used Adobe Audition. I decided to take a deep breath and focus on each step that consisted of molding my podcast into its final form. I knew I wanted to interview someone about health and nutritional myths because countless of my peers and family members had been talking about them the past few years. They read articles that said “carbs are bad for you” and not fully do the research to see if that is true or not. I took it upon myself to interview the Health Science professor at Furman about a couple nutritional myths I found on 10 common nutrition myths debunked - Mayo Clinic Health System . The website helped me see what all is believed in society and I was able to narrow the list down to the most common myths I personally hear most often.
When recording the podcast, I was able to gain a better understanding of the recording equipment and nutrition. My interviewee, Professor Frazier, covered a variety of topics within each question I asked her and I learned more scientific reasonings behind each topic. An example is when we discussed carbohydrates, I didn’t know there are crucial proteins that we need in them. The nutritional facts I learned and the technology I worked with will both benefit me years to come. I now know how to ask the best questions to get the best answers. I can apply my new technological skills to future projects in this class and to whatever career I decide upon down the road in Communication. I am no longer scared of using this technology and putting myself outside of my comfort zone because of my Healthy Habits podcast.
