Podcasting Experiences


      Talking into a microphone with the idea of sounding like you are having a conversation with someone sounds like something easy to do in theory. However, I found that recording my first podcast was a lot more difficult than I originally perceived it was going to be. For example, I felt very awkward talking into the phone, in a location by myself, knowing that there was no one else on the other end. It is almost a feeling of embarrassment even though you know there is nothing you should feel awkward about. I mean at the end of the day, it is just a guy, sitting in his car by himself, talking to his phone about sports. With all of that being said, having show notes for the podcast did put my mind slightly at ease for the simple reason that I knew everything I was going to discuss was planned out prior to recording.

Also, I found that I had an overall great time doing it because it allowed me to step outside my comfort zone and talk about something that I love. On top of that, I felt more involved in the world of sports by sharing my thoughts and research on a host website (YouTube) even if it never gets viewed by a single person. In addition, I believe those who did listen would agree with my thoughts about LeBron James and his potential to make the National Basketball Association (NBA) All-Defensive team. With a better team and a full off-season of recovery to rehab his body James will look to attack this upcoming season with energy and intensity that many believe he has lost. To summarize, podcasts are difficult, but rewarding, and LeBron, with the help of teammate Anthony Davis, has a great opportunity to be on the first or second NBA All-Defensive team.
