Finishing Up Podcast (30 minutes)

favorite moments and take-aways

Favorite moments? Favorite take-aways?

-Episode 1 and Safwa interjecting to talk about her interpretation of interviewer comments and explaining her reactions. Especially interested in similarity to NWP finding about buildings with multiple schools and hierarchy of “better” schools. Also enjoyed one interviewee response about uniforms, delivery was funny.

-Episode 2 and the cold open with responses to what students thought specialized schools were and did. Also liked how the SHSAT discussion didn’t overpower interviews about experiences and how they were sort of threaded together and complemented each other as away to think about access issues and fairness in who is admitted.

-Episode 3 the interviews were nicely framed in relation to the pros/cons of private schools. Some really insightful and also, frankly, disturbing stuff that was important to here. The “trigger warning” music was a nice touch; kind of playful to help relieve some of the tension there. Also cracked up at: “I looked like a bus driver, no offense to bus drivers.”

-Episode 4 with thinking about the lottery admissions was interesting in terms of what constitutes a lottery. Liked the range of perspectives from two different students and from a teacher, and how their perspectives didn’t always line up in interesting ways. Liked use of transition music.

 

If doing this again, what might you do the same?

What might you do differently?

 

podcast contest

The 2022 college podcast challenge returns with a $5,000 prize! : NPR

The maximum is 8 minutes long for submission. Perhaps we could submit part of the podcast? Maybe after listening to them all we can think about editing one of the episodes (or another) in a way that it would be ready for submission. Or, we take one episode and sort of polish it up. OR, we just submit each of the four episodes as stand-alone “podcasts”? What do you think?

other thoughts

better ways to mediate or make decisions? Process feedback? Many mentioned about weird energy at times and some attributed to size of collaboration–but that doesn’t mean there can’t be a better process. What do you think? (can talk about this in Podcast Contribution Narrative, too)

Prof. Blankenship will be in class today to administer the post-survey. If you completed the pre-survey back in September(?) you would complete this. If you did not complete the pre-survey back then, then you may still participate. Talk to Prof. Blankenship about signing the consent form and then you can take the post-survey.
