Yesterday, I had some fun in using audacity in remixing music and my classmates Andrew's narration of "Where The Wild Things Are", a well-known children's story by Maurice Sendak. This is done for the purpose of our fle learning task. The development of the finalized podcast was actually not so easy as Andrew's narration was done independently of my music story board. It was an emerging and creative process as I split, cut, overlap and remix it to the appropriate tempo of the music accompaniment. The other way of doing it will be to get the story board out first. This approach may however impede the narration flow of Andrew. I guess each method of producing a podcast has its own merits and difficulties, you just have to know which works better for you.
Have a listen to it, or try the learning task at the podcast site with your students.

Well done with the editing and improvements to the podcast/mp3 file Liang soon. You've inspired me to do more of the same with other picture story books for the kids at school. A few of teachers heard the pocast with music and were similarly inspired. Another job for me at school to teach them!!
