  • Why British Literature? Reading Angela Carter’s “The Company of Wolves”

    By Regan Spinks. 

    In my podcast, I attempt to answer the question “Why should you read British

    literature today?” by analyzing Angela Carter’s story “The Company of Wolves” within
    her collection, The Bloody Chamber. I discuss Carter’s subversion of traditional folkloric
    themes, as well as her introduction of themes of feminism and sexuality, and how
    Carter’s work serves as a step toward a more modern, loose definition of British
    literature. Finally, I issue a call to action and inform readers of the fluidity of literature
    itself, and how they too can reclaim literature as their own.

  • Brenau Commons: Our First Semester!

    By Autumn Young.

    This is my podcast with my roommate, Taylor Brand. We discussed different events and personal experiences we had on campus during the first semester of school. It was an extremely fun discussion to have with her and I'm happy I got the chance to have this conversation. We also reflected on the friends we made along the way and what we did as well. I hope we gain more memories as second semester comes around with each other.

  • Writing About Technology: Technology and Political Discussion

    By Lahna Wempner.

    Summary- In this podcast I am joined by my parents Donna and Paul Wempner, as well as friend Ammy Serna while discussing the impacts that technology has made on politics and how it impacts the opinions of the public.

    Bibliography:

    Suter, Keith. “The Impact Of Media On Politics.” Contemporary Review. Contemporary Review  Company Ltd, 2011, pp. 71-78. Print.

    Summary- Suter discusses how the media uses the gullibility of its viewers to tell them the information in the way they want to hear it. He also talks about how instead of the people making the agenda for what needs to be addressed in politics, it is the news medias that are controlling the issues that light will get shined on. Media outlets know what their audience wants to see or hear and will morph the truth into a favorable idea.

    Johnston, Anne. “Press Bias and Politics: How the Media Frame Controversial Issues.” Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly; Thousand Oaks Vol. 80 Iss 3. Sage Publications, Inc, Autumn 2003, pp. 758-760.

    Summary- Johnston in her peer review discuss how controversial issues are portrayed by media outlets. She talks about over time a person that only views one media source often times will begin to hold the same opinions and believes as those outlets. The media is controlling the thoughts that go through people’s heads and how they go about forming their opinions on certain topics.

    Political Studies. “The Effects of Technology on Politics.” Political Studies.org.

    Summary- The article discusses a few different ways that technology effects politics. Some being how advantage that politicians have when trying to campaign. Political campaigns need money, and to get people to donate they need to support the candidate and what they are saying. Political campaigners will tell the public they want to hear in order for them to vote for them.

    Britannica. “Mass Media and Social Media.” Public Opinion. Britannica.org. pp. 12.

    Summary- The section of the article discusses how media has divided the political talk in between conservative and liberal people. Also, talks about how media outlets often “reinforce” the preexisting behavior and beliefs of their listeners. That the opinion and information discussed is that of the viewers rather than just the sharing of non-biased information.
