In your blog write a reflection about what you heard. What was the intention of those who participated in the example you heard? How is this different than a traditional interview or storytelling?
From the podcast that I listened to here, I listened to a guy named Andy Goodling who wasn't open about his sexuality until after his secret boyfriend of four years died. I feel the biggest part about this podcast is just to tell people and let them know that it's perfectly okay to be open about your life and who you are as a human being, whether or not you are different from the rest of the crowd. If you happen to like the smell of smelly cheese, then you do you. I feel his intention of his podcast was to just get the point across that it isn't worth it to keep something in about yourself that no one knows for so long, just so you don't ruin someone else's view of you, or feel that you will be put down or ashamed of who you are. As a listener, I actually really liked his interview that Goodling had with his father about the subject at hand, it felt as if it was a more personal experience by listening to their voices and the tone of their voice rather than just trying to interpret someone's emotions through the bland text on a piece of paper.
