Hello! For the past two years I have had the privilege to be surrounded by creative and ambitious peers and mentors. The people I’ve met here at Freestyle have fostered my interests in creative direction, cinematography, and design. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Yummy Podcast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the podcasting unit in my senior year, I teamed up with my good friend Ari to create a podcast. . . about yogurt!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Why make a podcast? Chances are you\u2019ve taken over 12+ English classes or at least a handful if you did not grow up in America. Youth voices are vital in the exchange of free speech; We are powerful storytellers. Yet, almost none of the research papers or short narratives we write see the light of day past our teacher\u2019s desk. Our motivation to contribute to on-going dialogue in the “real world” is watered<\/strong> by half-hearted essays. I always had trouble liking English in high school because my motivation to use my voice was watered down by writing essays that had little meaning to me.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The podcasting unit, however, was an exciting opportunity to collaborate and create. Ari and I shared many laughs and agonized over our script for hours.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Podcasts are an appealing medium to a wide range of people and easily accessible. This project was a challenge: as a visual storyteller it’s difficult to think purely in terms of sound and word. But the payoff? A product suited to truly have our voices heard<\/em>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
