The first idea I have for my “This I Believe” podcast is that, despite the common phrase, I believe in “sweating the small stuff”. People commonly tell other’s to not worry about small issues, however, I believe that what bothers you bothers you and it’s better to work through/ help other’s work through their issues, rather than brushing them off as unimportant or “small stuff”. Another thing that I believe in is playing games. Throughout my childhood and even still today, many of my family and friends and I have developed such strong bonds through playing video games.
For the specialty blog, I’m most likely going to do a new passion blog topic and this time I’m going to do something related to video games. I’m either going to do reviews or possibly discuss the process and difficulties of independent video game development.
For my civic issue blog, one issue that I feel very strongly about is police brutality and other police-related issues which involve the abuse of power. It seems like every other day that I hear a story in the news about a police officer doing something outside of their authority. Another potential civic issue topic that I could do is obesity, and in particular the fat acceptance movement.
