Description

I am collecting 2–3 minute audio recordings of your favorite memory with John, or a “Johnism” that stayed with you.These recordings will be edited together into a single podcast episode dedicated to John, so his impact can be remembered, honored, and shared in the voices of the people he influenced most.This is open to any therapist who wishes to participate, regardless of how long you knew John, or how closely you worked with him. There is no right story. If something meaningful comes to mind, it belongs here.

The deadline to upload your audio recording to the Google Drive folder is January 3rd. Please record and upload it as soon as you can, so it does not get lost in the busyness of the next few days.

Thank you for helping create something that reflects the depth, humanity, and legacy of John’s work.Here are the very specific instructions on how to create the audio clip and get it turned in:Step 1. Record an audio only Zoom file

• 
  Open Zoom on your computer.

• 
  Click New Meeting.

• 
  Once the meeting opens, turn your camera off.

• 
  Click Mute, then immediately Unmute so Zoom is ready to record your voice.

• 
  At the bottom of the Zoom window, click Record.

• 
  If prompted, choose Record on this computer.

• 
  Share your memory. Aim for 2–3 minutes.

• 
  When finished, click Stop Recording.

• 
  End the meeting.

Zoom will automatically save the recording to your computer. This may take a minute. Please wait until Zoom finishes processing.

Step 2. Find your Zoom audio file

After Zoom finishes processing, a folder will open automatically.

Inside that folder you will see:

• 
  One video file

• 
  One audio file (this usually ends in .m4a)

You only need the audio file.

If the folder does not open automatically:

• 
  Open Documents

• 
  Open the Zoom folder

• 
  Open the most recent meeting folder

• 
  Look for the .m4a file

Step 3. Rename your audio file

Before uploading, please rename the file using this format:

YourName_JohnBarnesMemory

Example:HeatherH_JohnBarnesMemory.m4a

This helps us keep everything organized.

Step 4. Upload your audio file to Google Drive

• 
  Click the Google Drive link provided in the post below.

• 
  Once the folder opens, click New or Upload.

• 
  Choose File upload.

• 
  Select your renamed .m4a audio file.

• 
  Wait until the upload finishes.

That is it. No additional sharing steps are needed.

A few important notes

• 
  Please record in a quiet space if possible.

• 
  Speak naturally. This does not need to be polished or perfect.

• 
  Audio only please. Do not upload video files.

• 
  If you make a mistake, you can re-record before you upload the file.

Don't over think it or over complicate it!

Thank you for sharing your memory and honoring John in this way.Google Folder is here:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11epsUoiqKS70MsYq7IzaBd6gPtGV2ANF?usp=sharing
