West Texas football podcasts

Hello, and welcome to my blog about West Texas football for EMAC 4300, producing for new media. Over the fall semester I will be blogging about recent football games in the West Texas area. I decided to do cover this topic for a few reasons. First, West Texas football is big. I think that it is a good idea to give the community a new and alternative format for receiving football information. Also, I see it as something that can grow. I plan on continuing to produce podcasts after my class is finished. The biggest challenge for me right now in creating the first podcasts is finding studio time. I will be cutting it close with my first deadline, but afterwards should be smooth sailing. I will face a few problems when creating the podcasts. For instance, I fear that a few coaches will not like the idea of me speaking with players. A lot of times coaches are afraid that athletes may say the wrong thing to the media. I am fairly young and have plenty of ties to high school athletes. Hopefully that will be enough for me to overcome this challenge and be able to have plenty of interviews. Another challenge will be shooting footage. To overcome this challenge, I will need to be sure to film teams when they are playing home games to help reduce traveling. I am required to post six podcasts over the semester. I invite every one to check for weekly updates and be sure to leave your comments.
