Today in class, we started out with talking about the podcasts we listened to with our tables. It was interesting to hear about the different ones people chose to listen to, one person just listened to a podcast where people just had conversations for two and half hours. Others listened to political shows, some listened to informational ones, but most seemed to follow a certain theme. They mostly had a topic that was the central idea for the entire show, and for the most part the shows seemed unscripted, with a conversational feel. The people hosting these shows would laugh, go off into small anecdotes, and generally just have a good dialogue that flowed smoothly.
We then talked about the group project that we would be doing over the next four weeks. As a group of up to five people, you would choose four films and one book to watch and read. They all have to have a central theme about them however, from genre to an idea that the texts share. This all was a part of a bigger and goal, where the group would eventually have to make their own podcast about the texts they used. The good news is that the first one we do won't be graded. Mr Rivers gave us a book as for the first podcast, Ready Player One, which looks like an interesting book to start with.
