The Bardwell Road Centre Podcast

Presenters: Sunny (Shaorong) and Shaorong (China)
Topic: Best experiences while studying in the UK

In this special one-off episode, adult English language students on a general English course in the UK talk about their best experiences during their time in Oxford.

As part of a special afternoon class on practical computer skills, two students, Sunny from South Korea, and Shaorong, from China, created the materials for this podcast.

They prepared by
- listening to sample podcasts
- choosing the topic for their own podcast episode
- rehearsing interviews and
- getting to know the software and hardware tools needed.

They interviewed three students during their free time, and took photos of everyone involved, except Polina, unfortunately.

We hear:
Antoine (Switzerland)
Polina (Russia)
Sana (Libya)

Then in class Sunny and Shaorong prepared the picture of the people involved, to accompany the podcast, and started checking and editing the audio clips.

Afterwards, the teacher, Geoff, finished checking the audio clips, equalised levels, assembled the final podcast audio track, adding a punctuating jingle, and exported it as an MP3 file. This audio file and the picture the students had made were put up on the podcast feed.
