PODCAST EXPLORATORY

THE PODCASTS

Fairview Area Middle Schoolers who participated in the Meadiaville Exploratory project worked to create a series of four short podcasts. They can be found below.

This podcast is about young people's lives and their relationship with social media. Students have incorporated humorous faux commercials throughout this piece for satirical effect.

GAMER TALK:

This podcast explores three young students and their quest for answers, with one leading question: Which console is best?

LET'S TALK ABOUT IT:

This seeks to understand students and their relationship with mental health and bullying among students at Fairview Middle School. 

A FAIR VIEW INTO THE PAST:

This project is a look into students and their understanding of mythology.

About

MEADIAVILLE

Meadiaville is a project imagined and executed by Dr. Emily Yochim and a class of 18 Communication Arts students at Allegheny College, located in Meadville, Pennsylvania. Media Consumption 376 began meeting in January of 2016 and students were introduced to the project that Professor Yochim had envisioned. From there, the project took off. The overall goal of the Meadiaville Listening Project is to expose youth media makers in the Meadville area and to understand the circumstances that these youth are situated in while producing their media. As a class, we wanted to create a space where Meadville media makers could go to collaborate, learn, and explore other media makers in the area as well as to create an outlet that would help these young creative minds be heard by their community. Over the course of 14 weeks we conducted interviews, created a website, produced four podcasts, published several ethnographic research analyses rooted in communication arts theory, and developed personal relationships with Meadville community members. What started out as a class turned into something very meaningful and gratifying. As a class, we hope our work continues to be looked at and utilized in northwestern Pennsylvania. Please check out all of the wonderful media makers we worked with, and use this website and its content to nurture the creativity of media makers in your area.
