BLOG
This page serves as an opportunity to document our progress on the production and recording of our sports podcast. We will post bimonthly updates on completed work, and what we intend to do next. We will also provide updates whenever an episode is posted/recorded to media platforms.
Since our last update, we have recorded one episode. We now have everyone we anticipate to interview scheduled, and are getting ready to knock them all out and edit them. The episode we just recorded will be up shortly. We currently are slated to record one episode a week until mid-May.

Since our last update, we have added a guest! We were talking with Severn's Colin McCarthy and realized how great of an interview he would be, so we added him to our roster. We made a script for him, and scheduled him for next week. We have also officially scheduled every single one of our guests besides one (who we fear we may have lost), so all we have left is to record, edit, and post these episodes. We are nearing the home stretch, where all we have to do is record and post an episode once a week (which will be easy during ISPs), and we are excited to produce our final product.
We have continued the same work since our last update. We are currently working on getting everyone of our guests a solidified recording date. We have an exact date and time for all but three of our guests, and are actively planning with them. We wished to record over Spring Break, but Kieran was gone for all of Spring Break so we were limited to just scheduling. We are excited get back to recording once he returns.
Since our last update, we have worked tirelessly to schedule our guests. We have four scheduled recordings, and are looking to put more on the books. We are also working to expand our instagram presence, but that is still in the planning phase and nothing has been posted yet.
By this time our original goal was to have interviewed two more of our guests but due to conflicts in our guests busy schedules we haven't been able to get together yet. In the mean time we have created an Instagram (@the_experience_pod_) to help advertise the podcast and make updates for our viewers easier. Aside from that we talked to our project coach Mr. Laffey and discussed other possible people to interview such as Colin McCarthy or one the college Coaches and recruiters Mr. Laffey knows.
Our first episode is up! If you go to our guest page, you will see a YouTube link under Elijah Bryan that should take you to the episode. Coach Tyler's episode is also finished and will be uploading in the coming days. We have also scheduled two recordings with Owura Berko and Henry Rentz. We also tested recording over ZOOM and how to edit these files. As our project ramps up, we are also paying more attention to the general branding and image of our podcast. Expect an instagram page, or youtube videos of our guest's achievements to appear very soon.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we haven't been able to accomplish what we wanted over winter break. We initially planned on quickly posting our two completed episodes, and then recording episodes with both Owura Berko and Henry Rentz in-person. We both tested positive for COVID, so our winter break goals shifted. We leaned heavily into the technology aspect of our project, and we decided to spend more time perfecting the audio of our two complete episodes. We also created graphics and pop-ups that will show on the Youtube video for each episode. While we are both disappointed that we were not able to complete our original winter break goal, we still managed to be productive and improve our podcast as a whole. We are both out of quarantine, and now plan on hitting the ground running in the New Year. Most of our guest's seasons are now over, so we can really ramp up the scheduling and begin to release episodes more regularly. Expect our two episodes to be posted very shortly to our YouTube (links can be found under our "Guests" page, as well as some updates on some of our guests and the seasons they had. We also looking to add a new element to our project, and that is marketing our podcast. We both have a general interest in communications and social media management, and we plan on creating social media profiles for our project and exploring that side of the podcasting business.
As of now we have completed two full interviews for our podcast. We have finished with all the edits necessary to post our interview with Elijah Bryan. Our interview with Coach Tyler is fully complete but just needs a couple edits to be posted. We plan on releasing Elijahs podcast in the next couple days and coach Tylers a couple days after Elijahs. Over break we want to get at least one podcast recorder with one of our other guests but it depends on their availability. If we are not able to get an interview we will try and do a sports update for the local games.
Since our last update, we have recorded updates for all our guests using our new microphones for the first time. We plan on adding these individual updates on our Youtube and our page after some editing of the sound recordings. These will either serve as introductions to our guest's respective episodes, or independent posts. Either way, these served mainly as a way to test our microphones before we record our first two episodes in the coming weeks before holiday break.
We have been very busy since our last update, and work on our project has somewhat stalled. Both of us got sick and missed multiple days of school at separate times, postponing any hope of recording our first episode with Elijah last week. Alongside the November 1st deadline of most college applications, we haven't been able to do much besides continue to reach out to more athletes. As our applications our submitted, we are both healthy, and our football season wraps up, we are excited to put our foot on the gas and get working.
