This week, I was tasked to do a digital story time. I chose to do a podcast on my decision to have weight loss surgery. I know that seems to be a common theme with me this semester but as you can imagine, having to weigh, log and calculate all of your meals really gets in your head and takes up most of your time. Do I regret it, absolutely not! I also thought that maybe my story could be useful later, so I thought, why not. I used Audacity to record my audio and man, it was so easy to use. I may have to do it again someday. I can see how easy it is to apply audio to video and slides based on the tutorials. I really hated hearing my own voice. Warning, my recording is almost 3 minutes long. I’m happy to answer any questions about my surgery after you hear this.

Let’s learn together 
Hello Karin,
I have a true appreciation for your story. It is brave of you to share your weight loss story with us. Losing weight is a challenge, especially when there are underlying issues. I’m not familiar with Audacity, but after hearing your crisp, clear recording, I will find myself using it. Thank you for sharing!

Karin, even after seeing some of your journey first-hand, I learned so much from your recording. I have never heard of Audacity. I’ll have to look into it because you definitely sold it.
