I really enjoyed reading your post. I definitely agree that it was hard to find time for everyone to record it. Part of our group ended up not even being there. Those that weren't there just made sure to contribute in other meaningful ways. We also made our podcast a conversation versus just reading off of a script to make it feel more natural. I like that you discussed the digital moderation in spaces like reddit. I definitely think that moderating would be a tough job. Posts come in so fast and the ones violating community guidelines have to come down as fast as possible. It would definitely be easy to get overwhelmed. It is a fast-paced job for sure. Overall, excellent post. You articulated your points very well. Keep up the good work.

I really liked your post. It sounds like you and your group learned a lot from trying out the podcast format, given your already vast experience with content creation. I found it funny how the hardest part was finding time for everyone to record it. For my group, that might have been the easiest. It sounds like your group really liked your topic and I liked your ideas behind the open conversation format. My group followed a similar format were we all talked together instead of having our own sections. It was really good to hear that you learned a lot about digital technology while also focusing on your main topic. This is what my group went through when we did the podcast as well. Not only did we each learn about our topic BookTok, but we also learned about podcast making.

It's impressive how you transitioned from digital media to podcasting! You guys seem to have had some trial and error in getting the hang of Adobe Rush and the tech side of things, but in the end, you nailed it, producing an entertaining and educational episode. I really like how you kept it casual and added some spice with Abby Rauber as a guest. It must have been so much fun to talk about things like the new Percy Jackson adaption on Disney+! It's always difficult to deal with scheduling conflicts and technological difficulties, but it seems like you guys persevered and overcome them to produce an intelligent and amusing show. Continue doing fantastic work in digital media.
