Click here to listen to my podcast about life on a cruise ship. I created this podcast since I would hear the same questions asked over and over again when I worked on a cruise ship. I would often joke that it felt like the movie “Groundhog Day”, where Bill Murray has to live the same day over and over. Find the answers to such burning questions as " Who would want to take computer classes on a cruise ship?" and "What are crew cabins like?"
For this podcast, I took the top 4 questions I would often get asked. I tried to make the podcast a little campy to evoke that “cruise director” feel. I also had fun using the “echo” function in Audacity to help introduce each question. There are definitely more questions I could answer and more information that I could share regarding cruise ship life. These could be addressed in later podcast episodes, if I were to continue it.
Great use of the echo. Sounds like being an officer on a ship can be a pretty good deal. Would you recommend the work for those who aren't? Interesting podcast. I bet long cruises would net you high attendance.
ReplyDeleteThe “campy” feeling that you created did come across in your podcast and I liked how you ended the podcast leaving an interested audience to check for future podcasts next time.
ReplyDeleteI like the cruise ship theme you've been using in your presentations. Thank you for sharing your unique experience with those of us that remain primarily grounded on land! I could definitely imagine this podcast being used to entice people to sign up for a computer class or even just learn a little bit more about the cruise experience from the viewpoint of one of the crew. The echo was certainly a nice touch and fit in well with your theme.
