Takeoff is a podcast created to document an exchange semester abroad in 2019. I studied in Singapore and my friend Linn in Canada. We wanted to share our experiences during our studies in a different format than just images and came up with the idea to create a podcast. Mainly for friends and family, but also as a memory for ourselves. And we wanted to do it properly. After several hours of brainstorming, we designed a graphic identity, came up with a name and a jingle, created an account at a podcast hotel, and bought good microphones. During our exchange semesters, we recorded episodes, edited them, and published them all ourselves. As a result, we inspired others to go abroad and got persons interested in our program at Linköping University. It made me really happy and proud that we took the chance and did it!
