Listen To Talk Radio Analysis

“Get Off The Track” is a song written by Jesse Hutchinson, Jr. and alludes to the abolitionist movement. This song is full of symbolism, which can be seen through the music cover. The piece I will use in a gallery presentation representing “The Sectional Crisis in American Politics, 1848-1856”, from the primary source is "GET OFF THE TRACK!" A song for Emancipation, Sung by THE HUTCHINSONS, . . .. The music cover created from “Get Off The Track” has powerful meanings in each illustrated piece from the trains to the people to the churches. Seen in the cover are trains each with their own “names” which point to their meaning. The first part of the train seen is named the “Liberator” this is in relation to a popular antislavery newspaper out

These news outlets, as well as talk radio, at least get people involved in the political world and drive conversations. Many who watch or listen to them have other sources from which to gather information, such as their local newspaper. For every disparaging remark made about my choice of news outlets, I can find 10 more to counter the remark anywhere on the web. For example, Rush Limbaugh said that Bartlett has now gone over to “the dark side.” Another example is from The Christian Science Monitor, “Fox News was among the top four outlets cited as people’s main source of news.” For a 19 year old actively involved and working college student, I do not have the time to find and read scholarly papers because any and all elections would be over by the time I did. In the meantime, I will continue to listen more to the news radio and read news websites while discerning what is actually news and what part is for entertainment

In “Stop Googling. Let’s Talk.” by Sherry Turkle a Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been studying the psychology of online connectivity for more than 30 years. For the past five years, she has been focusing on topics: What has happened to face‐ to‐face conversation in a world where so many people say they would rather text than talk, families, friendships and romance. She has also studied schools, universities and workplaces. Among this topics she has talked and provided studies on how we have become distant from “who we are.” She reports that we as a society have lost a lot of virtues as a society such as a lack of empathy for one another, solitude, and communication with one another. As the “digital world” continues to grow we as a society continue to grow with it and apart from one another. Sherry also emphasizes that we

The podcast I listened to on RadioLab is called, “The Obama Effect, Perhaps,” produced by Ellen Horne, and it portrays a conversation between two speakers, Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich. From this particular podcast, I really liked how Abumrad and Kulwich explained the difference between the radio shows and podcasts, indicating that podcasts were “less formal” (Horne, 2009). Personally, I find it better that these podcasts are conversations because it keeps me engaged and the style makes it easier for me to understand the speakers’ perspectives. Furthermore, I liked how both speakers were very enthusiastic in order to keep the audience interested throughout the entire time. Most importantly, I appreciated the beginning of the podcast, which mentioned the difference between the radio shows and podcasts, because it was a clever way to dive into the actual topic (Horne, 2009).

Sadly some of the best and most accurate news we get come from those that do not have a large enough platform to move minds. For this reasons we must magnify the reach of those who are providing news we all need to hear.

After reading Feed my perspective on the future of life has changed intensely. Feed helped me develop an understanding for life such as, letting the technology take over our lives and becoming “lifeless” as some would say. Feed covered many different subjects such as, what it’s like to be a teenager in America and “The nature of consumerism”. M.T. Anderson gave a negative point of view of what’s happening and what is to come in our children's future as technology keeps progressing rapidly. Can the “Feed” be stopped?

The three characters I can identify with the most are (in no particular order) John Bender (real name Judd Nelson), Andrew Clarke (real name Emilio Estevez), and

The central concepts in the study are voter choice and political talk radio. Voter choice is operationally defined in terms of respondents who voted Republican in the Senate, House, and gubernatorial races in 1994. Respondents in the study were asked if they voted Democratic or Republican in each of the races. Those that did not vote, or who voted third party candidates were not included in the analysis. Political talk radio is defined as “call-in shows that emphasize discussion of politicians, elections, and public policy issues”. Political talk radio is operationally defined in terms of respondents who listened to the Rush Limbaugh show. Respondents were asked a series of questions pertaining to how often if at all did they listen to the Limbaugh show. The responses were measured on a 3-point scale, 0 equals respondents who did not listen at all, 1 equals respondents who listen sometimes, and 2 equals respondents who listened frequently. The variables ideology, party identification, state of the economy evaluations, Protestant affiliation, and incumbency status were also used in the study. These variables were used to control for spurious

She led me into the bedroom and I vowed to try and love her as much as I did the White Sox. Starting that night, the first night of what I hoped would be forever, I would try to love her with a passion equal to what I reserved for baseball. It would be a struggle because I knew that loving baseball was always a safer choice than loving another person. No, baseball will not physically love you back but neither will any of the other gods invented by mankind over the countless years. Baseball might break your heart just like a woman but it will never ruin you entirely. It may wound you in the fall and the wound may seem mortal but you will bounce back in the spring, stronger and smarter than before and your heart will be thankful for the lesson.

One genre of podcast that I find intriguing for various nostalgic and inexplicably self-punitive reasons, is that which explores the eeriness of the world, reminiscent in ways of old-time horror radio shows. “Mabel” is a fictional narrative podcast written and produced by Becca De La Rosa that follows the mysterious experiences of Anna Limon, the in-home caregiver of Sally Martin, an elderly woman living in the remote countryside. In the first episode of “Mabel,” “The Letters,” Anna tries to get in contact with Sally’s estranged granddaughter, Mabel, after finding a box of unopened letters in the attic that sends the elderly woman into a fit of terror. “Sword and Scale” is a non-fiction narrative podcast hosted by Mike Boudet in which each

According to the book Celebrity Politics, approximately 10 percent of Americans get national political news from nightly entertainment shows such as the Tonight Show. For Americans under 30, the number is nearly five times as many (Orman and West 100). Citizens are looking to be entertained rather than simply educated by the nightly news. As David Schultz aptly put it, “ The new media cover politics, but only politics as it entertains, in part, because the audience the new media attract is a less politically interested audience than traditional news audiences” (20). The fact is that this American audience is less interested in hard news and more interested in

Aaron Mott is a new columnist for Sandytribune.com, an online news site located in Cockburn, Australia. Sandytribune.com is a politically liberal journal geared towards left-leaning readers in their late teens to late thirties. He has only written three columns for Sandytribune.com, but he has proven himself to be a capable writer. Aaron, seemingly in dissent with almost everyone, writes about his differing opinions on a variety of topics. Sometimes inflammatory, sometimes precise and convincing, but always discontent, Aaron's writing captures the feelings of liberals critical of other liberals and popular political trends.

Listening to Mark Wick tell us his story last night taught me a lot about depression I didn't know. My family also has a history of depression so hearing his story opened my eyes a little bit and allowed me to understand the mental illness better. One major thing I learned last night was the symptoms of depression. Not all people that suffer this illness share the same symptoms. In Wicks case, severe anger was his biggest symptom, while others can experience fatigue, an empty feeling, sadness, etc. Another thing I learned is that its hard to accept your depression. Many who experience this illness attempt to hide it from family, friends, co-workers-the ones that mean the most to them. I found it interesting that despite how big of a problem

Every day, many people tune in to radio news. In Britain alone, every week over 12 million listen to news bulletins from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on five radio networks.
