My podcast topic is safe driving habits and practices. It will cover everything from preventive maintainance activities such as oil changes and transmission fluid flushes to how you should properly navigte a construction zone. As far as I know, nobody else in this class is podcasting about my topic so it should be fairly unique. My biggest challenge for the first podcast was getting the software to work for me. Multiple times I saved a file in the podcast suite only to have it corrupted or somehow altered. That aspect of the project was extremely frustrating. I had a presentable version of my podcast prepared and saved, however, somewhere in the changover from the podcast suite to the lab, the ending was butchered. I am unsure as to why exactly this happened, but I got a string of error messages about 8-bit audio files and things of that nature. Being completely unfamiliar with Macs, my initial experiences have not been positive.
My greatest challenge will definitely be adapting to the Mac ways. I still lack a full understanding of basic operations while using a Mac workstation, and I feel like that's definitely hindering my progress in this class so far. The only way to overcome that challenge is to work through it, so I will continue to try my best to understand how Macs work and how I can use them to my advantage. Until then, I'm lost.
