After posting about my podcast on Little Red Book, I was rewarded with an unexpected and overwhelming response, and a lot of people started following me, as well as liking my posts. I became more aware of the common plight of Chinese art graduates in the UK, and the common confusion we all face. I gained attention from audiences outside London, from Edinburgh and even from Spain. The audience also came from different art schools: LCC, RCA, LCF and so on. There were also a variety of people who had been graduating in the UK for a while who wanted to take part in the podcast recording to share their experiences.
I also knew people who are working on similar subjects to me. People with similar needs start interacting under the comments. I think this is very exciting: the online community is in its infancy.
I’m trying podcast recording for the first time, as well as audio editing. I’m not very good at expressing myself outwardly, and this is a big test for me, but I think the process is also a workout for me, and I’m hoping to grow in the process and really want to get this right. The first episode of the podcast has been edited and is waiting to go online. I’ll continue to update it’s process and feedback from the audience.
