For your listening enjoyment
In addition to hearing the LAST303 students’ visual language segments and full podcast episodes, below are the episodes that we listened to throughout the semester to build our podcasting skills. Students attended to the format of each episode, the use of sound (music, effects, silence), sentence length and syntax, episode and segment length, secondary sources, and recording/editing choices, as a means of determining the content, format, and style of their own episodes.
“Fordlandia” (24min), 99% Invisible, episode #298
“Indigenous Land Rights” (20min), World Resources Institute, episode #34
“Naomi Klein,” Iain Dale’s Book Club (13 minutes)
“Tupac Amaru Rebellion,” Stuff You Missed in History Class (32 minutes)
“Guano Mania,” 99% Invisible (21 minutes)
“Americanish,” Radiolab (1 hour, 4 minutes)
For the visual language tutorial, students selected one of the following episodes from the A History of the World in 100 Objects podcast produced by the British Museum in London:
- Statue of Huastec Goddess
- Taino Ritual Seat
- Inca Gold Llama
- Double-headed serpent
- Mexican codex map
