Being silly with my mentor this week.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Being part of the Next Generation Radio project taught me more in a week than I could have learned in a semester. It took me to places I&#8217;ve never been, it pushed me out of my creative comfort zone, and it connected me with an amazing group of students and mentors.<\/p>\n<p>I had the opportunity to go to Skid Row with my mentor to interview chef Delilah Cannon who had a firecracker personality and glittery cat nails to match. She showed us around her kitchen, introduced us to her staff and even let us sample the food. I was able to sit down with a homeless mom who was kind enough to share her story with me and her mixed feelings on the meals. That was the easy part.<\/p>\n<p>The next few days were full of logging, cutting audio, piecing the story together, posting pictures, eating, embedding codes, all while trying to meet deadlines.<\/p>\n<p>The pressure was on, but in the end it was all worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a list of what I learned this week:<\/p>\n<p>* How to use Audition<br \/>\n* How to produce a non-narrated audio story<br \/>\n* The term &#8220;falling off the wagon&#8221; comes from L.A.&#8217;s Union Rescue Mission<br \/>\n* Food breaks are necessary<br \/>\n* Remember where you park<br \/>\n* Always use the Waze app<br \/>\n* Be patient in traffic<br \/>\n* Enjoy every minute because time goes by fast when you&#8217;re on deadline!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being part of the Next Generation Radio project taught me more in a week than I could have learned in a semester.
