Podcast Ideas:
While listening to sample “This I believe” podcasts, it became evident that passion was always an integral aspect of each successful podcast in that it was more easily communicated to both the individual and the audience. Because I am focused on choosing an idea that I have a lot to say about and advocate for, I do not have two, but have picked my topic.
- I believe in balance. Although this idea may seem a little ambiguous just by the title, I believe that you can’t just be one thing or can’t merely do a single activity. For instance, my parents have always pushed me in school, but I have also grown up in a town of very competitive sports. On both sides of these, I was forced to choose, but I believe that in being forced to choose only results in negative consequences. Although this isn’t a true statement for everything, it greatly affected my life and I will explain it thoroughly in the podcast.
Civic Issues:
- I would like to blog about challenges facing public schools in America because it is not only prevalent but extremely relatable across the nation. I didn’t want to focus on one specific thing because there are a number of different factors and challenges. Additionally, I wanted to present a new idea on each post, but still making it consistent with the theme of the blog.
- I also want to write about the ozone layer depletion as it could be very dangerous currently and in the future. With that, I want to look into the rate of the depletion and its effects so I can gauge an idea of how concerning this issue may be now and in the near or far future.
