Ep 2: the fact that Yolanda’s interview got stopped twice and that there were inconsistencies in her story but they still used it to arrest him is crazy #EH207

Ep 2: I think the pressure of finding who killed Hardy made the detectives desperate to blame someone and arrest the asap without/little evidence #EH207

Ep 2: “is he telling the truth or is he telling a story?” I like this quote. I think it fits #EH207

“It is a cruel gesture to tell a bootless man to lift himself by his own boot straps” - I think this quote encompasses the feelings of this podcast episode. #EH207

“Bootstrap myth” - it happens enough that it exists. When I heard that Upward mobility is 7.5% in the US I thought that was great but hearing that it’s twice that in Canada, I was surprised because when I think of the US I think of “the land of opportunities” #EH207

I think it human nature to glorify yourself and your achievements however, it’s also important to recognize you couldn’t have done it by yourself. So Franklin’s story is very eye opening and puts things into perspective. #EH207

It’s very interesting to learn how the phrase “rags to riches” came to be… also I had no idea Ben Franklin had his own printing press #EH207

(2/2) As he was telling the story I could visualize everything he was saying and it felt like I was right there with him. I really enjoyed it, especially the part where he said that the bullet seemed to say, "Pity you, pity you!" #EH207

(1/2) I listen to "A Korean War Veteran Recalls his First Day of Combat", I chose this StoryCorps story because it looked very interesting and I don't really know much about the Korean war. Mr. Moon's Storytelling skills are so amazing.... #EH207

(2/2) inspiring, it reminded me that it's never too late to start doing something you love to always pursue your passion no matter what any one else says. #EH207

(1/2) I listened to “Try to be happy.” : A Father Shares his Wisdom on StoryCorps and I chose this because of the quote they had saying " Try to be happy. the longest life is short." Listening to his story even if it was 3 minutes it was so... #EH207

I also liked the music selection process Abel went over and I like how the music can emphasize or add certain emotions to the interview. #EH207

[Lexa @lexab003]

I really like how Abel talks about the two sections of an interview: the narrative and the reflection. It helps create a structure and makes the interview and the actual making of the podcast less overwhelming. #EH207

(2/2) or tricked when listening to those criticisms made in the podcast.
