It was an interesting week because I never did a podcast before and I never published something in YouTube before!! It was funny in some moments because my classmate and I, we are friends and we talked about a lot of weird things, in some moments we laughed and laughed and we needed to calm down before doing the podcast. It was interesting but I don't want to do it again, it makes me feel nervous 😂.
