About this Podcast:

My podcast “Cereal Cast” is about different types of cereal and my feelings about them. I also was a guest on the podcast “Under Attack” with Cameron Semple about the stigma around Sharks.

Podcaster Bio(s):

I’m Madi Gubser, and I attend Freestyle Academy in Mountain View, CA. My interests are alternative music/lifestyle, guitar, drawing, and writing (lyrics and stories). Cereal Cast is obviously not a serious podcast, and it’s main purpose is to be comedic, I enjoy listening to laid-back podcasts that rely on a humorous back and forth conversation between two or more people so I created my podcast using that structure.

Introduction section:

The Podcast project gave us the opportunity to be a host for the first time and helped us strengthen our storytelling abilities since it is a story heavy medium. Podcasts are also relatively easy to produce (assuming you have a microphone and editing software) which makes this an incredibly accessible medium for people to communicate.

Inspiration for this podcast was the J&JPodcast aka the Jenna & Julien Podcast. (Which can be found on YouTube!).

Reflection:

I valued the freedom of this project and how diverse the topics were. While some students did theirs on social issues, others did them on horror movies and other cool hobbies that interested them. Cereal Cast was the first project I’ve ever done at freestyle that was solely humorous and didn’t hold much meaning. My other projects are usually quite serious and aim to teach and challenge the reader. This project however, I really got to show a different side of myself and explore something more comedic. I also made a sick heavy metal intro for it so that’s cool.
