Hello class, unfortunately, Mr.Rivers was absent today, and everyone was devastated. Despite the sorrow,  many were able to get solid work done and learning more about podcasts; looking at the different styles and approaches other podcasts take when recording. It is important to have something that makes your podcast stand out to people, a reason for others to take time out of their day and watch your podcast. I personally watched the Be Reel podcast on the movie Get Out by Jordan Peele, and I found it to be very interesting. You could tell both of the caster's were really into the movie, as well as topics brought up about it. They hit a common question from the audience of whether or not the movie is politically correct, and had a very interesting debate over the subject. I personally would recommend listening in on this podcast as I think many in the classroom would find it interesting. It opens so many different point of views, and showed me different ways to think of events that happened in the film. Moving forward, you can learn a lot by listening to podcasts and get inspiration for how you would like to do your own from podcasts you like or listened to today. Additionally, you could even learn about movies you haven't watched before and potentially podcast on those, forming your own opinions as you watch the movie. Despite Mr. Rivers absence today, I think many were able to be very productive and it will greatly help us improve our podcast quality when we begin recording and forming opinions on the movies we watch.
