For this project, we were tasked to create a podcast baed on a topic tat we enjoy discussing. For Matthew and I, we chose to talk about the study of fitness, and how fitness correlates with one mental well-being being.
Who are we?
My name is Vinh Le, a senior at Lost Altos high, and a student at freestyle academy. I’m 18 years old and my motives in the future is to become a professional film maker , and I am also looking into majoring kinesiology, the study of fitness. Fitness is something that really spikes my interest over the past years. As someone who striving to reach their goals in fitness, I have a more ” scientific ” approach to weightlifting. In that, I look like at the most efficient way to achieve ones fitness goal through understanding the exercise literature, understanding one’s biomechanics, and of how the muscle should be moving in response to the exercise that they are doing . Other than working out itself, I really wanted to dive into the mental aspect of exercise , and how it plays out with mental health. Most people see what’s happening on the outside, but don’t have a grasp on what’s happening on the inside.
My name is Matthew Hoke and I am a senior at Los Altos High school. I am eighteen years old and I would like to pursue marketing in the future. I want to make my own skateboard brand or shop. I have been skating for many years and as you can guess it took a huge toll on my body. This is one of the reason I wanted to start going to the gym, to fix my body. Weight lifting became a huge part of my life and I still go five days a week. Going to the gym has really helped with my mental health as well as my body’s recovery time. This is exactly why I wanted to talk about weightlifting, it has shaped my body and who I am today.
Introduction
The Podcast project was a way to break loose from the traditional learning of A English class, and allowed students to develop new story telling skills, and presentation through voice recording. The goal of the podcast project was to create a podcast that shows off a students ability to discuss deeply on a topic that they are interested about through literature skills like story telling and ways of communicating and connecting with the audience. Matthew and I really wanted to talk about something that we both resonated with, which was fitness. We both had same goal, and noticed a lot of people getting into fitness, so we wanted to discuss about people’s mindset and driving force. Inspiration for our podcast came from the Mog cast.
Production
Reflection
I really enjoyed this project thoroughly though the production process and the post production process. I was able to learn new ways of story telling, and ways to communicate my message and reasoning to audience in a complex, yet fun way. this project to meant a lot to me, since fitness is one of the things that I became interested in in the more recent months. It took a while to get the podcast together, but In the end, it was well worth it.
