Well, the time has come to release a rough cut. I apologize for the delay. I was volunteering in Peru over spring break!! I did not have access to my computer or the internet.

But here it is, friends.

What you should know

• I want this project to be detailed, but am not really sure what time constraints to follow, so advice on that would be great!

• My project is about writing in the medical field, which is tricky business. I want to explain things as simply as possible, so hopefully that is achieved.

Major Weaknesses

• I am 100% aware of the fact that public speaking is NOT one of my strengths. Even when I am not actually in front of people, I still sound terrible. Just knowing other people are going to be listening to this makes me feel all weird and nervous. I am trying my best so please let me know what specific sections need re-recording. Trust me, I know my voice is terrible, I'm kind of just aiming for decent at this point.

• I am not sure if I am adding information that is not necessary. I do not know how long podcasts typically are. Is mine too short? Too long?

• I am not tech-savvy so I did not add sound effects yet, but I will figure it out eventually.

Major Strengths

• I think I do a good job at explaining the different genres. They are fairly straightforward.

• I use the interview segments adequately and to a reasonable extent. Those segments serve as back ups to my claims, but do not drown out my voice.

• I use good examples that illustrate the structure and content of the genres.

Here is the Rough Cut. Please be critical but don't make me cry.
