Hi Eliza! I really enjoyed reading your post, I’m so glad you expanded more on Melba’s relationship with Danny! I also thought it was interesting how she prayed for Danny, especially after the scene in which he […]

In Warriors Don’t Cry one of the characters that I found very interesting was Danny. Danny was the soldier that was placed in charge of making sure that Melba or the other Little Rock 9 students were not killed at […]

I love your audio choices! Also, your choice to use a voiceover in your introduction, while still making it fun and inviting with your audio was genius!

The beginning made me feel a little anxious because of the alarm but I also think that including that was really good way to include visual aspects to your podcast.
Alex White commented on the post, Social Savior Podcast, on the site Introduction to Digital Studies 5 years, 4 months ago

I like how your podcast is a story or a narration. I also like how you talk about all the aspects of social media, Hashtags, social media apps, everything. I can also relate to how we as people look to social […]
