My Podcast Experience - Noa Martín de la Peña

I am an international student at Sacred Heart Secondary School and, when I came to Ireland, I

knew great experiences awaited for me at this school. I was given the opportunity to be a

school journalist and I took it. That was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Being able

to interview different people from different backgrounds and different walks of life has been truly

an amazing experience. So far, I have had the honour of interviewing David Nash, John

Minihan and David Gilbert for the SHSS Podcast. I’ve learnt so much from these interviews and

have no doubt evolved and improved as a journalist. I recall the excitement I felt when

recording my first ever podcast. I had never done something like it before and I was more than

ready to interview our guest that day, poet David Nash. Interviewing the photographer John

Minihan was an unforgettable experience. I must admit I learnt a lot from him and am very

glad to have had the privilege of hearing his words of wisdom. I look forward to doing many

more podcast interviews during the rest of the school year and continue growing as a

journalist here at SHSS.
