  1. 1. Learned the fact that for 1 calorie of food we use 9.8 calorie of fossil fuels. I also didn’t know that planting perennial grains decreases the need for tilling and replanting which helps negate soil erosion.
    2. The audio clips of Jackson talking are very effective.
    3. I like the inclusion of the machine sounds but I think it is a little awkward when they are played when the author or Jackson is speaking. Perhaps more music could be worked into the project.

  2. 1. I had no idea that it took 9.8 calories of fossil fuels to produce 1 calorie of food. I also hadn’t heard of the term “green growing” before.
    2. I really appreciated your choice to discuss his childhood and how that shaped his belief system, as well as the quotes/audio clips that you included.
    3. I think the sound/volume could have been a bit more uniform throughout, but I think it was a really great podcast overall!
