I began my podcast by speaking about the thought process that I go through when I am about to Skype with my grandparents, and how our relationship changed after we began using Skype. When I heard about some of the ideas of my peers I realized that we all share some sort of deep connection because of technology, and this allowed me to write about my grandparents.
Although at first I felt as if talking about something personal such as my grandparents was a bit weird. The way I came up with the idea to use Skype was ironically by asking my grandparents when we used Skype earlier last month. The subject of my podcast was the usage of Skype to create a deep relationship with my grandparents. Nonetheless as I got more invested and emotional into my podcast, I felt more comfortable and it felt a bit easier the deeper I went.
For that reason I felt as if writing and recording myself say the podcast was a bit unusual and very weird. Instead of arguing a certain topic or comparing two sides of an argument, I had to speak about something personal in life in our current technological setting. The thought process that occurred when writing this podcast was a bit different when compared to other forms of writing I have previously done.
