When I created my first unessay, I really did not think too far outside the box and I chose a familiar medium like a magazine article. As I think about my next unessay, I want to venture outside of my comfort zone and I would really enjoy trying to create a podcast. I have never done anything similar to a podcast for an assignment so this is definitely a new area for me.
Generally, podcasts are a form of digital audio where the speaker discusses a topic and these can range anywhere from someone reading their physical essay that they wrote to interviewing people and having a conversation with them. This form of my unessay can really come in any layout because there are no physically written words. Potentially I could begin my podcast with just me speaking and then gradually add people to the podcast by interviewing them or listening to their opinions and viewpoints. With this podcast, I could really appeal to any audience; however, younger kids may not find it interesting because they usually prefer visuals or images to help them understand what the work is about.
With this podcast, I think it will give me greater freedom to experiment with new modes of communication for my thoughts and ideas. I hope it allows my listeners to see different variations of the “traditional essay” and how these new forms can affect the way you understand and retain the information.
