Imaginary World Video Reflection

The story I chose to write about is called "Lick the Star". The plot was interesting to me because there are four girls that come up with a plan to weaken the boys at their school. The plant they come up with is to poison them slowly through the school lunches.

Kate, the main character, returns to school after being in the hospital for a few days and finds out that Chloe is trying to take her place with Kate's friends and obviously Kate is jealous just like most girls until they talk on the phone and Kate puts Chloe back in her place where she belongs.

I think that in 1998 it is funny how things have changed so much since then and how I remember 7th grade. We all had our specific friends and the different categories but everyone has to put their own thought on things and judge beforehand. I honestly feel bad for when my children go to school because it keeps getting worse and worse.

Podcast

During the process of making or creating this podcast was that I honestly was not a fan of podcasts and I still don't really like them but this is my best shot at creating my own and it is called "Young Adventurers". My inspiration came from my previous post about the three podcasts I listened too to get inspired about telling a traveling story. I came up with this idea when I listened to a podcast talking about Florida, so I decided to talk about Highway 1 in California.

The form and content work together in this podcast because this can help people planning on maybe traveling on Highway 1 and good places to see that we experienced while we were out there. This is also good for a younger couple traveling together, we honestly just bought the flight tickets and everything else was just what we seen we stopped and it ended up having a great time and worked out better than having a specific time schedule.

This process was definitely interesting because I don't like the sound of my own voice and I wasn't sure what voice recording software to use and how it would turn out. The most challenging part about this was trying to edit the recording and adding background music to and completely failed at it.

Podcasts are a unique way about storytelling because it is easy to listen to while driving since we spend majority of our time driving to school, work, vacation, etc. Depending on the content you can get people to want to listen to more of your content whether it be political, personal, documentary, etc. 

Soundtrack's in MY Imaginary World

As we go throughout the weeks we have Instagram posts to do as well and last week I did one on what my imaginary world would sound like. I mostly listen to country music so I listen to Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Kane Brown, Jon Langston, The Chainsmokers, and Carrie Underwood just to name a few of my top favorites.

We all like to listen to music that goes with our mood whether it is a good, sad, stressed or angry mood we have music to turn to or at least that is what I like to do. Most of the country songs now have to deal with good times and relationships (whether good or bad) and I can relate. I would have to say my number one song I like to listen to now is "Heaven" by Kane Brown because to me it is about living in the moment instead of what is going to happen in the future.
   

Podcast Reflections

"Zero to Travel" is the first podcast that I was interested in after listening to an episode called "Start a Travel Event Photography Business". The subject matter in this particular podcast is how a guy

started his own event travel business and has grown since then because he has his own unique way of taking photos and word of mouth travels fast. The information/audio was obtained by a question and answer sit down and the guy basically just told his own personal story like in a studio. This podcast worked well because they were in a quiet studio without any background noise and they start out from the very beginning (amateur). He says that this is a "passion Not work" and "if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life". I like the fact that there is a brief introduction and explains what is going to be talked about.

"Travel to Southern Florida" is the second podcast that I was interested in after listening to an episode called "Miami, The Everglades, The Florida Keys, Key West". The subject matter in this particular podcast is how a guy flew down to Orlando and then drove down to Miami and talked about the shuttle services and restaurants. How you can adopt a bird from the Everglades. The information/ audio was obtained by a question and answer sit down and the guy basically just told his own personal story like in a studio. This podcast worked well because they were in a quiet studio without any background noise and was telling their own personal story about when they went to southern Florida which was cool and I remember some of the places that I went to as well so I can relate. I like the fact that they both use very descriptive details when describing Southern Florida that I can picture that I am there with them.

"Travel Tales" is the third podcast that I was interested in after listening to an episode called "Happy Camper Wives". The subject matter in this particular podcast is how a guy. The information/ audio

was obtained by a question and answer sit down in the guys room on a cruise and the guy asked these women about their stories. So these two women literally sold everything bought a camper and hit the road. This podcast worked well because they were in a quiet studio without any background noise and was telling their own personal story about when they started in California went the whole way East, down South and across and also up into Canada. I like the fact that they weren't afraid and overcame challenges when they basically picked up and went to travel. I would love to work a few years and then travel like they have all across the country and stay in the state parks.
