I like all the different viewpoints that this Podcast brings to the table. It gives everyone a chance to argue their POV even if they have an unpopular opinion.

It’s interesting that the man with a British Accent feels so strongly about the “American Dream” and how no luck is involved at all. It’s a little ironic since he works at Fox News as well came to the US with a degree in finance. It’s a flawed argument.

I like the idea that poverty can be solved by working together with other people. I think it’s a much more realistic and effective way to handle it.

Ben Franklin kind of seems a little spoiled tbh. How often does leading someone out of Poverty actually work? It’s a bit too optimistic to be something that actually works. I get the overall idea tho

This one was on the front page of the website. I think it's one of their best, and most haunting animations. The vivid descriptions that the man gives about his experience gave me chills. Definitely worth a watch.

I really liked this story. I loved that it was about a teacher who helped a struggling student stay on the right path, and it reminded me of our in class interview. https://t.co/FT7vE35s0G

Abel shows me that Podcasts are a lot more complicated and in-depth behind the scenes than I thought. At first, I believed it was basically three people talking on a mic and then that’s it, but there is wayyyy more to it than that #EH207

[Samuel Odom @SamOdom99]

Adding pauses to the podcast after someone finishes talking is an interesting idea. I never really thought about having to do that until now, but it makes sense. It reminds me alot of editing videos. #EH207

[Samuel Odom @SamOdom99]

I like how Abel shows us that podcasts can be used to convey just about any type of information. From Economics, to sports, to movies, there is a podcast for almost anything #EH207

Did she use the same words twice? Or did she strictly limit herself to using each word Bull Connors said once? #EH205

[Samuel Odom @SamOdom99]

The poems are definitely confusing. Some of them have a relatively easy to follow pattern but most are kind of random. #EH205

[Samuel Odom @SamOdom99]

I think the idea of poetry made from someone’s spoken words is really cool. But i also wonder is this considered a genre of poetry? Or is this book the first of its kind? #EH205

By Using 3rd person for “Joyas Voladoras”, it creates a feeling of spectation. You are an active viewer in the story. like you are a student being taught something by a professor. Doyle wanted the reader to think about something, so he writes in a way where you learn #eh205

[Samuel Odom @SamOdom99]

“Joyas Voladoras” doesn’t really sound that scientific to me. I feel like it is using scientific terms to create an image of the unending march of time. Not to say I didn’t learn anything new, more that the terms weren’t meant to teach, but more to convey a message. #EH205

I don’t think this could be achieved without 1st person. #EH205

[Samuel Odom @SamOdom99]

Jodie Foster created a good essay about a pretty scary experience that (hopefully) I will never go through. Yet I feel like I did go through it, mainly because she vividly described everything that went through her mind when it happened. (Read Next Tweet) #EH205

[Samuel Odom @SamOdom99]

1st person makes me feel like I am inside the writer’s head. The “I” statements make me think of similar instances I have had. It makes the writer relatable because I can be like “I can understand that or I’ve felt that before” #EH205

[Samuel Odom @SamOdom99]

On second thought, 2nd person isn’t that bad. When i think of it in a different way, I think it’s more like the author is speaking to his younger self. It makes me feel a little more connected to the piece in a personal way. I no longer dislike 2nd person. #EH205
