How did switching genres from academic paper to podcast allow you to think in a different way about the subject of your paper? How did it allow you to use language differently?
Starting with an academic paper, I really focused on the evidence and the analysis. I wanted to know the facts that would help me emphasize my overall idea of the paper. After completing my paper I had to turn it into a podcast which then really made me think about my life. Creating a podcast allowed me to relate what I was writing in my paper to personal experiences. I really enjoyed the challenge of changing an academic paper into a podcast because it showed me a new skill of changing langue to sound more casual which isn’t required as much in college. I now prefer podcasts because it makes the topic I am writing about even more interesting because I can talk about it in relation to my life.
