The Podcast show I have chosen to emulate is On The Media. I like the way it takes events and stories that have been shared in the media and gives an in-depth explanation for each of them and then presents a fresh perspective on the highlighted issues. I chose this podcast show mainly because I have noticed that when any major News story is discovered, it is usually interpreted in different ways by members of mainstream media. Only once in a while do most opinions on a News story go in the same direction, and it is one of such stories that I would like to use as my podcast topic.
I have not yet made up my mind completely on what particular topic to pursue for my podcast. I am currently considering a fairly recent story in which a teenager in the United States was able to escape jail time after killing people while he was driving under the influence, because his lawyers were able to convince the court that he suffered from influenza. I am doing a little more research on the story and I should be able to narrow down my topic in a very short time.
In trying to select my topic I was not able to use SPARK, because I did not find anything that was very helpful to me at that point in time. Although, I was admittedly not very patient when I started looking through it, so I will devote a few hours of my study time this week to really go through it and see what I can use. The story I am looking at for my podcast is one that I am very interested in, so hopefully at the end I will be able to do it justice.
