The next pit stop for technology travelers in the agricultural journalism capstone course is SoundSlides.
This pairing of source-only audio and images felt forced and unnatural to me - a bit like writing a magazine feature using only direct quotations. However, I can see the appeal of a short, low-intensity medium for consumers to get a feature fix (likely during their caffeiene fix if they are anything like me).
After a practice run on a friend to test my sound-gathering skills (Thanks, S.), I set out to interview a young man I met several months ago. This section of his life wasn't the story I expected to tell, but a time crunch and reporting "oops" led me to his transition from college to the 'real world' as an employee. I'll leave the storytelling to Joe Burns though... You shouldn't need any additional software to see and hear "College Job to Career."
...and yeah, that's two posts in one day (Just for you, R.)!

Whew....
First, an apology... It's been a long time since the last update for this page, and as one of my friends gently reminded me, "that's no fun."
Between working on the Missouri Pork Expo and writing for the University of Missouri School of Natural Resources, my spare time has been extremely limited. Unscheduled moments have gone to thinks like the graduate school application process, internship hunting and sleep. :)
Okay... so, the podcast I promised in February has doubled. I've done two for my senior capstone course.
1)The first was a promotional blurb for Tiger Garden, a floral shop on my college campus - check it out!
2) Then, I worked on a longer project covering the MU Tigers for Tigers fundraising campaign with the World Wildlife Fund. That podcast is linked "here" for your enjoyment.
