She also enjoys swimming, running, hiking, skiing, and exploring the outdoors.

Introduction section:
The Podcast project serves as a way for students to share their thoughts on a meaningful topic to them. Podcasts are powerful tools to both learn from others and provide insight for others, as they are easily accessible to many. I really enjoy listening to podcasts like “Hey, Stranger” by Thoraya Maronesy where she asks strangers personal questions; it’s really interesting to hear everyone’s unique stories, backgrounds, and experiences. Originally I had hoped to do a podcast like that, but due to COVID-19 I decided to take a safer alternative. The podcast world has expanded and evolved so much over the past few years that there is something for everyone.

Reflection:
I really valued the freedom that this project gave us to research our own topic and create a podcast about anything. I’m very glad we had the opportunity to make our own podcast episode and would definitely consider making some in the future again. Advice that I have to new podcasters is to be open to fixing your script as you record and don’t be afraid to re-record and fix things as you go! Don’t worry if you stray away from the script a bit because in the end it might sound more natural.
