3 thoughts on “School lunch program (by A. Choate)”
Nice job! I learned about the context of the school lunch program and how it was set up after world war II. I did not know that surplus from farmers was used to contribute to lunches. I liked how you incorporated criticism and future directions into your podcast. It was an interesting point that children would rather eat fast food than the lunches they were given. I would recommend putting in some music in the beginning and maybe even end of your podcast for a smoother start and finish. Talking to someone else or quoting someone could also help to draw in the listener.
Good job Aidan! Your podcast was very informative and well done. You were concise with the information you presented which is something I struggle with, so I applaud you for that. Before listening, I knew more about the failures of the modern school lunch program but I was pretty unfamiliar with its origins, so I really enjoyed learning more about how it got started. I think your podcast could have benefitted from some other voices, breaks, or music to help engage the listener, but overall you did really well.
This is great, Aidan! I really liked the set up of the podcast in the sense that I left with a well-developed understanding of the cause, reality, and effects of the school lunch program. I definitely knew a bit coming in about the more current school lunch program, the economic collapse that led to a market desire for the campaign, and – on a personal note – how picky eaters children are from a summer of nannying! Either way, this podcast enriched my understanding of the faults of the program, especially given the schools’ motivation to even participate – money, unfortunately I’m not surprised. I think overall the structure was really well done, but you might want to, as said above, add in some other voices/music/sounds/interview clips or even statistics to change the flow of the piece. Also, maybe try printing out the script for these sorts of assignments beforehand so as to avoid the faint clicking/mouse noise at points. Regardless, I really enjoyed listening!
