General Tasks for the Week Set up weekly (or more frequently) video check-ins with your team. Reach out to your composer, if you know who it is, and check in to see what their timeframe is and if they need any more information from you. Monday Listen to the podcast episode for today. Lots of links for this episode: http://abbymullen.org/courses/HIST395s2020/schedule/week11/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://abbymullen.org/courses/HIST395s2020/schedule/week11/ This week we’re learning about the mechanics of recording. We’re dealing with a few special challenges: mostly, the challenge that we’re all working from our home studios! But the principles of good audio are the same no matter where you are. Monday No podcast today! Don’t forget our synchronous class, starting at 10:45. Check the Slack group for the WebEx link. Wednesday Instead of having anything to listen to for this week, we’re just going to jump in on recording. http://abbymullen.org/courses/HIST395s2020/schedule/week12/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://abbymullen.org/courses/HIST395s2020/schedule/week12/ This week we’re again having a special guest on Monday to talk about continental exploration and audio broadcasting; on Wednesday, we’ll talk about editing your recordings to get some “good tape.” Monday Synchronous class: Look for the WebEx link in our Slack channel. Wednesday Listen to the audio recording I posted in Slack in #week12. (Do me a favor and demonstrate that you listened to it by giving me some sort of reaction on the post. http://abbymullen.org/courses/HIST395s2020/schedule/week13/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://abbymullen.org/courses/HIST395s2020/schedule/week13/ This week we’re going into edit mode for real. Monday Synchronous class at 10:30! Special guest: Rund Abdelfatah from Throughline! Check Slack for the WebEx link. Wednesday Your jobs: Check in with me on Slack. In your team channel, tell me how you’re doing. What do you need? What are you working on right now? Do Recording Session #2, if you have it scheduled. Share your edits document with me (in a Google Doc) so I can start working. http://abbymullen.org/courses/HIST395s2020/schedule/week14/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://abbymullen.org/courses/HIST395s2020/schedule/week14/ This is our last full week of class! Can you believe it? We have so much work to do! I’ve already started work cleaning up the audio on all of your episodes, but I need a little more from you. Monday I need your edits document RIGHT NOW. I also need any additional recordings you’ve done. You can post them in #week14 or on Basecamp. I’m going to have informal office hours during part of our normal class time, 11:00-11:45, in a Google Meet meeting (I’ll send you a link in Slack). http://abbymullen.org/courses/HIST395s2020/schedule/week15/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://abbymullen.org/courses/HIST395s2020/schedule/week15/ It’s our last day of class! We made it! Please make careful note of what needs to be done to finish our semester strong. By Monday evening, please: Post your show notes as a blog post on our WordPress site. Don’t hit publish yet; I’ll do that once I’ve got all our episodes ready to go and I can embed a player in each post. Give me any edits/suggestions you have about the draft of your episode. http://abbymullen.org/courses/HIST395s2020/schedule/week8/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://abbymullen.org/courses/HIST395s2020/schedule/week8/ Monday, March 23: Producing a Podcast Check in on Slack at some point today so I know you’re ok and you’ve seen the plan. (Just say hi in the #week8 channel.) Listen to this (interactive!) podcast and answer the questions posed in Slack. Questions about the podcast beginnings: What are the elements of this beginning? (intro to topic, intro of speakers, music, etc.) Which of these elements is the most important? http://abbymullen.org/courses/HIST395s2020/schedule/week9/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://abbymullen.org/courses/HIST395s2020/schedule/week9/ This week we’re getting down to it: writing the script. Two things you need to do this week in addition to your class stuff: Revise your grade contract, along the lines that I outlined in my message to you on Slack. Send it to me via email or DM on Slack by April 5. In the Basecamp message board, sign up as a team for a conference time to meet with me this week on Wednesday or Thursday.
