Production Report 8a

Now that an outline has been completed, it is time to start producing podcast content. Here is the first attempt at producing a piece from my outline, the introduction.

Outline Item: OPENING

• Introduce myself
• Introduce the field and speaking of: optical engineering
• Optical Engineers can do anything from building the telescopes astronomers use to learn about the universe to analyzing pieces of artwork.
• Talk about all the different genres people in the field of optical engineering partake in: 
• proposals, email writing, letter writing, conference, popular articles, peer-reviewed academic journals, textbooks/academic books, academic lectures/teaching
• Focus is on Popular Articles and Academic Lectures due to relevance of author(ME!)

How did the production of this raw material go? What kinds of any hiccups, challenges, successes, creative epiphanies, etc. occurred during the process?
