I tuned in one Wednesday at 8pm for the final ds106 radio session for the week. It was really cool and interesting to hear some of my classmate’s radio bumpers. Shoutout to Emily who said ‘Nights’ by Frank Ocean was your favorite song in your bumper, it’s one of my …

The audio effects throughout the Moon Graffiti podcast made me feel like I actually was present at the moon landing. As a history major, this is such a cool and unique way to tell history through audio. I really love podcasts/radio shows that are entertaining but also give you something …
Can you guess my favorite song? (fingers crossed this doesn’t get taken down due to copyright)…
One of my favorite podcast shows is Dissect, where each season features one album, and every episode is a song off of the album. The host spends each 40 minute episode dissecting each song, lyric by lyric. If I were to host a radio show, I would definitely make it …

To be honest, I am a very anti-filter person when it comes to taking photos. Whenever I take pictures, they are very simple and not complicated. So it is kind of difficult to find pictures I have taken with any of these different photography aspects.
When being picky, I did …
