Podcast // There Goes The Neighborhood, James Asante
I’ve just listened to the podcast “East New York, Did it work?” and there were some interesting opinions being shared about people & their neighborhood and about how people felt about the change. Some opinions were for the good describing the evolution of the neighborhood & other opinions may have been against the change provoking a loss of culture in a neighborhood. A truly controversial topic. Much enjoyed.

The podcast I listened to was “East New York. Did it work?”. The podcast in my opinion was very well put together. They didn’t prolong the intro or talked a lot but got straight to the point which i believe is one of the things that is essential in keeping your listeners drawn in. They also did a great job getting people to share their stories and expressing their opinions and they were all different opinions which made it more interesting and not bias. This podcast brought together facts and evidence as well as opinions to make it not only on filled with primary sources but also one that is relate-able .

Podcast Response
What do you think the speakers and interview subjects did particularly well to communicate their ideas? What questions do you still have, or what do you think they could have explained better? Feel free to link to 1-2 of your favorite podcasts if you regularly listen to ones you want to share.
I chose to listen to the podcast of “East New York, did it work?” I like this podcast since the speaker did a great job so that we could hear a lot of opinions from people living around East New York. Through the interview, we felt a sense of the shortage of affordable housing in New York. He did great on defining the true meaning of affordable which was so controversial, which means is the word, affordable works for those rich people or those people with low income.
There Goes the Neighborhood – Our Town
After listening “There Goes the Neighborhood – Our Town”, I understand better of how to make a podcast. I think they are doing a good job on their podcast because the podcast is running so smooth. the podcast use a question, information, and conclusion technique to make the podcast. the beginning of the podcast is well done too, it used an important question to attract the listener curiosity or interest. I think I also can do a podcast like what they did, starting with an interesting question or information, then just shoot out question, information, and answer.
Podcast Assignment
The podcast I listened to was “THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD: EAST NEW YORK, DID IT WORK?” and what I think about the speaker’s job on this podcast is that he did well by communicating the neighbors’ ideas by interviewing them and giving them a few minutes to express themselves about all changes made in their neighborhood. In this interview, the interviewers recalled to the time they felt safe in their neighborhood and that these changes leave them with doubt about their future, however, they hope for the better. What I liked about this podcast is that this is a primary source with reliable information since all this is given by people who reside in the area, they have seen all the changes and how is affecting and/or benefiting them.
Podcast Assignment
I chose to listen to “East New York, Did It Work?” podcast. I really like this podcast because it shows the people who live in Atlantic Yards neighborhood opinions about the changes that are happening in this area and the cost of housing generally. First, they started the discussion about the gentrification and explained the changes that are happening in East New York. Then, they started to interview the people who live in this area and listen to their point of view about these changes. Some people are talking about the history of the changes that happened in their neighborhood and explaining how these changes impacting them. It seems to me that a lot of people who live in this neighborhood are not happy with that change. Every speaker gave a different point of view. I really like their brief reviews because they all focused on a lot of good points about these changes and how they feel now about their neighborhood. And that could be very beneficial for everyone who does not know a lot of information about the Atlantic Yards neighborhood history.
