Elements Of A Podcast: Danger Ahead

All the quotes have to do something about risk or do something about risk and caution. “Security is a kind of death” , that means take a risk or do something about your life. People that do extreme sport don't care about their safety. They care about livin’ it to the fullest. They don't care about their safety because some people hate to be bored so they found extreme sports.

In the short story by John Cheever called "The Enormous Radio" it begins with Jim and Irene Westcotts appearing like the perfect American family. Cheever describes them as "the kind of people who seem to strike that satisfactory average of income, endeavor, and respectability" (Cheever 1). What is ironic about this story is the Westcotts are far from being the perfect family and the community they try to conform to is just as imperfect as the Westcotts themselves. A way the Westcotts try to live up to their society is by keeping secret the fact that they listen to the radio and attend musical events. This is because these activities were not something members of their community did. For example, Cheever says the "Westcotts differed

The criminal justice system is meant to protect the innocent, and punish those who are guilty of a crime. However, no system is perfect, and as a result, sometimes the innocent become victims of the system that was meant to protect them. How exactly do these innocent people become victims of the system? Sometimes the person gets framed, and the crime scene is staged to point a finger at them. Sometimes, there is no strong physical evidence against them, yet circumstantial evidence is used by the crown to put them away. This happened to a 17 year old boy named Adnan Syed in Baltimore, Maryland, who was imprisoned for life, for the alleged murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Lee. Throughout the Serial podcast, Sarah Koenig is able to critically analyze information which proves Adnan’s innocence. Firstly, Asia’s letters gave Adnan an alibi for the time of the murder. Secondly, Adnan’s innocence can be demonstrated through the lack of any strong evidence and the prosecution’s use of circumstantial evidence which can be disproved. Thirdly, Jay’s constantly changing testimony is not credible evidence of Adnan’s guilt, making him innocent.

In early 1999, Shawn Fanning, a Northeastern University freshman, created Napster software. That summer he made it available for free through his Napster.com website. Napster is a peer-to-peer technology, which makes it possible for users to freely share their music files through the internet with other users all over the world. Specifically, this is how Napster works:

The Serial podcast, hosted by Sarah Koenig, is about the murder of young Woodlawn High School student Hae Min Lee. Hae was a smart, ambitious, and outgoing young lady taken from this world too soon. Sarah Koenig and the podcast takes us through the ins and outs of typical and unusual teenager behavior to try and uncover something unseen in this case. Adnan Syed, the now convicted murder, and Jay Wilds, the state’s only witness, are the key people of this story. I believe Adnan’s innocence should be maintained because Jay’s story should not have been used for evidence, there was not enough evidence to even arrest Adnan, and Adnan had a trustworthy alibi.

We don’t see much of Jay, rather, we hear quite a lot. What we are hearing from Jay

The Black Tapes Podcast revolves around the renowned skeptic, Richard Strand, who is regarded with a negative connotation among paranormal investigators. The podcast follows Alex Reagan, the host, and Richard Strand’s investigations of the various paranormal activities that Strand has not been able to solve thus far, so called “the black tapes.” In most of the episodes, Strand is able to provide a sufficient explanation for the cause of each case but in this episode, he seems incapable of explaining an exorcism. He witnessed it and was not able to identify any present factors that would render the exorcism as a set up, thus he believes it to be true, and is therefore unable to provide a rational explanation for it, exposing a clear bias.

Although it once cost millions of dollars to produce great recordings, those days are long gone. With today's technology an individual can make home recording using inexpensive equipment that rival commercial studio recordings. It's not as complicated or difficult as you may think. All that's required is that you do a little bit of research and you can build a good recording studio for under a thousand dollars.

In today’s installment of “The Grand Conversation”, Imma talk about some things that aren’t so grand. In fact, they are rather morose in nature. There is a plague amongst humanity that is pretty well known to be in the open within the social consciousness, yet it’s often pushed to the side in our minds. This plague has many variants, yet it cripples our potential far more than we often admit. I am talking about the plague of addiction.

Mike and Mike is a radio show hosted by Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic. It is a sports radio show that covers every major professional sport. The show airs in the mornings on ESPN radio and ESPN2. They are known to bash each other in a generally humorous tone in the show while still covering major news on sports. Besides their own personal stance on a matter, there does not seem to be one definite bias between the two Mikes’ with a personal team. Although, if they disagree on a matter, they argue their opinion, which could be considered a bias. The shows target audience is predominantly males. I think that it would be tough to put an age range but I would say starting at the age of 20. Personally, I know that on car rides to hockey practice

Before the main melody begins with Clifford Brown and Jimmy Heath, there is a short four second long introduction in the very beginning of the song, which is played entirely by the piano player John Lewis.

In the TED Radio show discussing the power of brands over brain, Paul Bloom, a professor of psychology and cognitive science at Yale university, explained why people give value to things that they like. As Bloom argue, people value things depending on their origin, what they are made up of, what benefits they could get, and their history. Knowing the background history of things like where they came from, how they are made, and their quality give consumers satisfaction on buying the products, which makes the consumers essentialists. According to Bloom, essentialism is a belief that things have a set of characteristics that make them what they are. As Bloom pointed out, “We are also powerfully swayed by our belief system. And sometimes, our

Music Journalism is a difficult career to advance in. It requires education, location near music, and experience. Even harder to do, is find a college that caters to all of these requirements. That’s why Webster University is an excellent choice for a student going into music journalism; the campus location is perfect for the work force, they offer journalism degrees and certificates, but the tuition is quite high.

Easy for them to reach and we answer the phone 24 hours a day. So we’re answering their calls and their questions in the evenings at 9:30 and Saturday mornings, on Sunday’s, during the week, emails, text messages. We try to make ourselves available. I think it increases their trust factor and that (05:49 unclear) goes our reputation. We often hear, “Well, I’ve never heard a bad thing about you guys.” But that’s hard to keep (05:59 unclear/capped?). It’s hard to keep it up. We don’t have any reason to not keep it up but it’s… We work and live in the same town as many of the homes that we built. The majority of our custom homes were in this town, Tolland, so I see the people in the grocery store all the time. I ended up being personal friends with
