Once I was finished with this last podcast, I was done. I didn’t know who else to interview. I had already done two podcast episodes with my friend Ricardo Plata; everyone else was working on homework or didn’t know about rap music.
My options were few, but I decided to ask my good friend Sebastian Navejar (Navé) if he was free and able to be in my last podcast episode, he was delighted to. The only problem was he had a study hall and the teacher wouldn’t let him leave, but I could tell he really wanted to do this. I decided to wait.
“I didn’t want to be done. I didn’t want to stop recording. I didn’t want to stop talking to people about rap music."
However, when he got out of study hall, I had to do one of my duties as a senior and sign in the middle schoolers. I really couldn’t leave, but I begged the teacher on duty to let me go. He finally said yes after I asked him a few times. Then another problem arose. I didn’t have anywhere to record my podcast. The music production group was using the recording studio, the high schoolers were being loud in the dorms and the same went for the middle school dorm.
There was no chance of me recording in the high school dorm, however, in the middle school dorm, there is a side that is only used for storage. I asked the teacher that lived on that side of the dorm (there is a small apartment that is attached to the dorm) if I could record in the room and he kindly agreed. He even went as far as to offer Navé and I some tea.
The area wasn’t that pretty, but it did have a couch and gave me good audio with no echo and a good set up. This was going to be a great recording. We finished recording, and I felt different. I had been so ready to finish the podcast and to stop recording, but once I finished I felt different. I didn’t want to be done. I didn’t want to stop recording. I didn’t want to stop talking to people about rap music. So I hope to be about to talk to people about rap music in college by joining groups or clubs like a radio station.
