Podcast reflection and podcast link


Regarding my podcast it was very interesting to create. It was the first time ever that I recorded myself speaking with others about something that I’m passionate about. Usually I hate hearing myself after I recorded my voice but that was a comfort zone I had to get out of. Developing a script for the podcast was cool as well but it helped a lot, so I might not sound scripted. Other than that, I felt like I did alright regarding dialog and just to keep things interested in the listener. As there aren’t many podcasts about poetry, it was great to be a part of a genre that there should be podcast for. Many people might think it’s just people reading poetry, but its more than that. Connecting to any who is interested in poetry is the goal. I think the podcast format is not necessarily the best format for poetry, but it can be something that can be a part of hopefully the expansion of this genre on all platforms.

When working on this podcast it was very easy to find people to interview because I was surrounded by a lot of people who weren’t a part of my major. The fact that we all went to the same college it made it easy to find them to conduct the interview. When it came time to find a specific theme for my poetry podcast, the thought of them reading was always the plan. After they read it, relating the poem to their personal lives or finding that significance was very essential to the podcast. It was better evidence to show that people have the simple and academic skills to analyze a poem and explain what they think the theme is. Honestly, poems have an endless amount of themes or lessons tied with them.

It was challenging picking the right way to transition and trying to say “like” too much. Which in that sense I feel like I might’ve failed because it felt too casual for me? But then again is that what makes podcasts authentic, the fact that the listener can pick up that vibe of a conversation between two people. I wanted to make sure it has a natural feel to it and I guess me saying “like” a lot sacrificed the informal part of it.

Reverse engineering Sofia Coppola's Imaginary World

" Lick the star " by Sofia Copeland, personally the black and white perspective points it out more. It's as if this is what she would want her imaginary world to look like. This somewhat relates to one of the Keri Smith's prompts that involves that actual photo and images that make her imaginary world come to life. That seems to be through a black and white perspective. Which it seems like not a perfect world as most would think a world away from reality would be but this seems to have a yin and yang type of vibe. Take the bad when its bad and you take in the good when everything is fine. The narrator seems to be a guide for us as we enter her imaginary world or the world that she lives in. We are getting other point of views but we still are reflecting back to what the Narrator is telling us. Sophia seems to have a lot of interesting characters within her database which then were transported into her video essay. These characters seem to be dark characters who have...

Years still feel like days             Narration: Another year with you gone feels like yesterday. Years, days, minutes, hours pass by with a reminder that you aren’t on earth anymore. (Photo of my mother) No one wants to lose a mother. Mothers are the most important key to raising a child. As you bared me for months and had me prematurely on May 15 th , 1999, you were the reason I took my first breath. Complications came along the way due to me being born prematurely, but you chose to keep me alive despite the risk. On that day you gave me the name, Jaimere Malikk Washington (Baby Photo of me). The last child out of five children, I was your baby. It was the start of how you raised me to become the young man I am today. Effects: Fade in Music: Acoustic Piano             Narration: Single mother of five, nothing kept you down no matter what. You worked hard to keep us out of the streets and pr...
