For the round 5 project, I decided to do a podcast again. I learned a lot of valuable information the first time around, and also learned how simple a podcast can be when the correct resources are used. I also believe that I excel in public speaking, and podcasts are a good way to highlight that skill.
I chose to read an article on how Spotify is testing out podcasts on its platform now, along with music. While Spotify is using some sort of algorithm to do this, and find podcasts based on music choice, there have been some bumps in the road, as any new platform would expect. One was actually kind of funny:
These are the sort of bumps that are to be considered when trying out something advanced like this. I really like the idea though. To be able to find podcasts that potentially relate to the content of the music is a a really great idea I think. Sometimes, there are great podcasts out there that we do not even know about!
There were the podcasts listed to subscribe and listen to, but I decided that since I already reflected on those podcasts the first time I did the podcast I would choose a different podcast that i subscribe to and find very inspirational.
The podcast I listen to is called “Pretty Big Deal” by model and women’s advocate Ashely Graham. She covers a bunch of topics and has a really great way of relating to people and being inclusive of people of all kinds.
