Bariah Qadeer, W14: Structure

Hi Everyone, 

My podcast episode’s structure resembles the “Morning Edition” structure because the first line is the opening scene where I introduce the topic.  However I introduce the topic for a couple of lines! The triangle represents “history and context” as Bradley Camphell explains so that resembles my podcast as well since I talk about the history of language change. Then the individual lines represent connections that characters have to the story. In my podcast the characters are the different implications and the research that I found about the “because noun” phrase which answers my research question. The research question is that: how does language change affect writers? And I found research that supports the fact that changing language does not affect writers negatively. The research and implications are connections to the story of the “because noun” phrase. Therefore, this structure resembles the structure of my podcast.

Nonetheless, I don’t return back to the beginning of my podcast directly.  Meaning I do answer my research question but I don’t have a direct connection between the opening and ending scene. I will make a connection because as Professor Bell said in lecture that it is more effective to tell a story than facts. This is because the story will stay with the listener. So the structure of my podcast resembles the “Morning Edition” and I will make the structure of my podcast resemble this structure completely. This is because I will have a better story for my audience to hear.

This structure is similar to Lexicon Valley's structure because they also talk about the history and generally about the topic for a couple of minutes before they actually answer the research question. Then they answer the research question with different studies and research done on the topic. So my podcast does follow the typical structure of Lexicon Valley's podcasts. 

I counted 20 citations in episode 102.
