Vandyvox

Winner in the Undergraduate Category of the 2022 Excellence in Podcasting CompetitionOver the last few years, the fossil fuel divestment movement has taken the country by storm, and at Vanderbilt activists made their big debut by interrupting Chancellor Diermeier’s speech at Founders Walk in 2021. In this episode Abhinav (and a special guest) listen to College Voices’ reporting about this movement and discuss how students can create similar audio stories.“The music knows something. I think it’s always interesting to ask, what does the music know that the listener doesn’t know yet? ‘Cause the music is the thing that can exist outside of the time of the story. It knows the past, it knows the present, it knows the future…I would say use it thoughtfully, use it as a knowing entity, use it as a punctuational entity.” - Jad Abumrad about using music in podcastsHow long did it take for you to produce this episode?“This episode took dozens of hours of research, interviews, scripting, and production to complete.
