Podcast at Woodbine

I thought my group might have left our last group project slip by, but we didn't. I took the initiative to suggest that we really try and get it done. It's a busy time for everyone right now, but most of us came through and completed the podcast assignment.
We decided to do a 'live to air from Woodbine Mall.' Coming to this decision again, went through several emails between our group members, but overall I think everyone was pleased with the outcome of our assignment.
We wanted to make our podcast entertaining, so we added a bit of humour. Through the use of our voices, you could say we were a little more excited about our experience at Woodbine than most. We did however, discover the mall really is a fun place to be. As a group we had a blast, interviewing little Matthew, a child at the Fantasy fair, a Cinnibon employee, a cute security guard, and last but not least, Santa.

We take the listener to different parts of the mall, showing the diverse experience Woodbine mall can provide you. We started at the Fantasy Fair, where we meet Matthew, a cute little boy, eager to play, who was perfect in helping us with our assignment. Not being able to resist the smell from Cinnibon, we made our way over there and made our first transaction, and boy was it worth it. We continued our walk to the Food Court and describe what's available to purchase, proving that there is something for everyone. We put further comfort in the listener when talking to a mall security guard. Not only can you find everything you need at Woodbine mall, but you can be safe while doing it. Rainbow Cinema was one of our last stops. We invite the audience to join us to watch the Bee Movie with us at 7p.m. Our last stop was an utmost treat. We visited Santa, who was in the centre of the mall, available to chat and take pictures with. I can't remember the last time I sat on Santa's lap. He seems to think we'll all get what we wish for.

This podcast could be used as an advertisement for the mall. I think we did a pretty good job putting a positive light on the experience Woodbine mall can give you. It definitely displays there is something for everyone and that the mall can provide a full day of fun.

This assignment, along with the others, have shown that initiative and a little imagination can take you a long way. None of these assignments were hard, they just required collaborative work, which in itself was a lot of effort. Once we figured out how we worked best, and the best form of communication, it was smooth sailing. I've learned to work with others you must be able to compromise, communicate your thoughts clearly, and be opened minded to others' ideas. Sometimes your thoughts are not always the best, and working with others can reveal that. The product that can come out of 6 people's collaborative efforts can be a beautiful thing if you just have a little faith, organization and trust in others.
