![]() Okay, now for some more in-depth information. Nearly all our shows are now just straight one-takes with very, very minor edits. Yes, the process is now much more complex, but I’m really, really happy with it. The piece I usually spend the most time on is (obviously) recording followed by editing, but I’ve learned that if I can willingly accept my imperfections such as my “um’s” then my editing time is dramatically cut down. This is really all youneed–even for iTunes–but as I explain further down, this process also has its limits/costs. I edited and bounced everything with GarageBand (I even did it once on the free, open-source editor Audacity) and then just stuck it on Soundcloud. In fact it’s worth noting that my process when we started was much simpler. This sounds like a lot, but it’s become a really quick process for me.

For the season finale, we decided to use it as an opportunity to reflect on the podcast itself, what our main takeaways were, as well as discuss some of my our top moments. And I have to say we’ve gotten pretty good at creating some semblance of a professional and entertaining production if I do say so myself. For the uninitiated, in most episodes of MATEOTW, we make a futile attempt to either cover the media or interview a media professional. Ralph and I will be consecutively teaching abroad this summer so rather than putting the show on temporary hiatus without notice, we decided to “wrap the season,” and then we’ll come back as soon as we possibly can without feeling rushed. For instance, I’ve learned I say “you know” and “I’d be curious to hear” quite frequently. One thing you learn being on both sides of the production is your ticks. I have to say, it’s been a lot of fun to experiment with the medium from both a media and technical perspective. I just hit the publish button on the season finale of Media and the End of the World.
