For this podcast assignment, we worked on a short mystery story we named “The Wallet in the Forest.” The objective was to create a 90-second fictional podcast, complete with many sound effects, a dramatic climax, and a satisfying conclusion. In our story, a girl named Sara makes an unusual discovery during a class field trip to the forest: a wallet. What starts off as a strange yet mild surprise spirals into the frightening tale of a robbery gone wrong, bizarre men masquerading as police officers, and a woman who has vanished, leaving only her cat and a pair of earrings behind.

It was enjoyable, even though it was somewhat challenging sometimes. To me, determining the genre and plot took a lot of work. We wanted the story to be suspenseful yet manageable in terms of time. A lost wallet and a forest setting ultimately became the story’s catalyst, and everything else followed seamlessly. I particularly enjoyed crafting the script, especially gathering the sound effects. I loved finding a cat meowing, wind blowing, and eerie whispering. Everything really came together.

Though the recording went smoothly, editing all the sounds together took quite a bit of time. A task like this will definitely be in my educational activities in the future. I feel like making a podcast like this helped with my creative writing, collaboration, and digital skills. Also, it's a great way to promote storytelling innovatively and interestingly.

I would love to make more podcasts in the future! My group member on this podcast was my friend, Muhammed Aslan.
