A One Stop Podcast Maker

Have you ever wanted to make a podcast? It has always been something that intrigued me, but I never thought I could keep up on it, or the fears of "what if people hate my voice" pushed me away from attempting. A couple days ago, even if I decided to pursue it no further, I decided to see if I could easily make a podcast, with no prior experience or knowledge.

I have tried to do this with vlogging software before, but for a novice, I choose not to share simply based off of the utter failure it turned out to be. The vlogging software took hours to figure out (at least for me), and I never got anything done.

Well, I am happy to say this is not the case when making a podcast! I found the easiest platform there is, that it took literally one extra minute to put together after I recorded what I was going to say, and it was off. Then, the app took care of the rest for me, and it works on distributing your podcast under your name to a bunch of other platforms such as Apple's podcast, Overcast, Pocketcasts, and a many more. This makes it easier to get your content heard, because you don't have to juggle a million accounts, you just have one.

What is this magical app I speak of? None other than Anchor! You can add music, sound effects, intros, and there are ways to then interact with your audience with comments. You record each segment (between your different sound effects) where you can then trim it or decide if you want to add background music. The interface is super user friendly, making this ideal to a beginner who has no idea what they are doing (ahem, me).

Now, I will say having good content boosts up your ratings, which wasn't my intention for simply trying out the app, so my podcast episode isn't the best, but if you want to check it out, here it is!

Can one learn all the languages?

Language is something that I think we all take for granted. We speak and communicate. However, what comes out of our mouths has a lot to do with the culture we were raised in. This is the time of constant networking, and connecting across the globe for both personal reasons and business. Study abroad programs have become more and more popular, and many non-English speaking nations are now teaching their youth English in hopes to bridge the gap. That works for the basic needs of communication, but there is so much more to learning a language. Values, ideals, history: all of these are intertwined into the fabric of a languages grammar, spelling, or even their different vocabulary. So how does one learn a different language? Well, I hope to one day be a hyperpolyglot, but I am far from that right now. I find that different methods work for different people, and maybe you will learn one language better one way, and a different language better a different way. Nonetheless, here are the ...

Beginners and Veteran Beatboxer Handbook!

Now I would like to preface this with the simple fact that I cannot beatbox well, but that doesn't mean I can't try, right? The whole reason for a hobby is that it brings you joy. So if you want to try beatboxing, there is no reason for someone to tell you no. Just go for it! It is almost comical to write "beatboxer handbook" as the actual art of beatboxing is individualized, and if you end up making a cool sound, more power to you. There are plenty of famous beatboxers who make very similar sounds, but their methods for doing so are completely different. That being said, there are some good places on the interwebs where you can find helpful tutorials, tips, or communities to help build your skills, no matter what level you are currently on. Now, I'd like to send a big thank you to LFT aka Lefty for helping me with all of this helpful information! He has been doing this for a while, and was so lovely as to supply you to the perfect places to visit on your bea...
