Digital Voices

Now I understand that podcasting is a way to share audio files over the internet. Also, that you can download podcasts on to a music devise. When listening to the podcasts I noticed that the sound was clear and easy to listen to. The people speaking spoke clear and slow. But not like robot slow, just like a good pace to where you can understand easily.
The “This I Believe” essay that I listened to was “Learning to Find the Silver Linings” by Annaliese Jakimides. I selected this essay because I know that it is hard for people to live with a suicide in the family and so I wanted to know what she had to say about it. I liked how she made everything in the essay positive. Even though the essay was about how she was living without her son who committed suicide. I liked how when she said how her daughter told her not to talk to strangers she made it into something good, like it can affect people in different ways just from someone starting a conversation with you. Something memorable about her speech was her introduction and conclusion. I didn’t really know at first how she was going to tie in finding a silver lining to a suicide. Then how she explained how she celebrates her son rather than morn for him. Something effective about the speech was that it was personal rather than just explaining how to find a silver lining after a loss.
