Nita Rao ‘Lost in Mexico’

July 17, 2020 David Bevis

Nita practised law in the States before moving to Mexico at the end of last year. Originally from Australia, she and her husband started the podcast Lost in Mexico just as the pandemic came here.

We discuss how she ended up here, what it’s been like adapting to life in Mexico and what topics she’ll be covering in future. The non-profit organisation she mentions for people who’ve been forced to return to Mexico from the U.S. is called Otros Dreams en Acción.

David Bevis, your host, moved to Mexico from the UK over twenty years ago. I live in Mexico City and run the Seven Seas Translations Agency, as well as a podcast called Mexico Over the Wall.

Responding to questions asked by listeners of the podcast, I discuss what it’s like setting up a business here, what kind of music I like and why I started a podcast in the first place.

Behind the Scenes: Recording Calls

April 28, 2020 David Bevis

Linking your mobile phone to your computer is an easy way of recording a phone call for a podcast. That way, you can make a call and capture the audio passing through your computer from you and your guest. I’m using a Mac to do this, but there are ways of doing the same thing on a PC.

Behind the Scenes: Editing Part II

March 13, 2020 David Bevis

After you’ve finished trimming your interview down to size as we saw in Part I, what you have to do next is examine the content. I’ve found that one of the advantages of using a DAW like Hindenburg Journalist is its ability to classify the content of an interview.

March 10, 2020 David Bevis

Here’s how I go about trimming down an interview I’ve recorded to turn it into something more intelligible. Many thanks to Rich Varney for asking the questions that inspired this blog post.
