The podcast unit was a relaxing set of lessons on podcasting \u2013 a new form of media that is gaining serious momentum of popularity. <\/p>\n
I worked with Nisha Malley to create our podcast, “Freestyle Feels,” where we interviewed fellow seniors to discuss and reflect on our two years at Freestyle Academy. Our goal was to provide an episode that reflected where we were in our lives with our Freestyle “careers” coming to an end as well as to provide a resource for future Freestyle juniors and seniors to gain more insight into the program as some of the students from the class of 2019 experienced it.<\/p>\n
In English, we listened to and analyzed a handful of podcasts provided by Mr. Greco as well as of our own choosing, to learn about the different ways to produce a podcast.
