Though I have not posted about it, I had a class in podcasting. I should probably tell you it all that means, right? We started with listing and listening to podcasts that we all listen to regularly. We looked for commonalities and different takes on what a podcast is. Then we were asked to start the process of making our own. First we decided on who to work with (if anyone) and what the podcasts topic and format are. I chose a chill, conversational approach because that is the main style I listen too. I don't have any partners but I want to bring on as many people as I can. The first episode is with a friend of mine JH, and we get into a few things including space, unluckiness, and an old sword.  Itsaatraap · Oddly Censored Podcast EP1 Episode two is with two other people this time: CJH and MM. In this episode we talk about eternals, a bear eating someone's chicken and the Harry styles concert in Milwaukee.    Itsaatraap · Oddly Censored Podcast EP2 I hope to record mo...

When thinking of music, who first comes to mind? Modern musicians like Ariana Grande or Drake? What about the most famous musicians in history? Some of you probably think back to Beethoven or Michael Jackson but I'm sure someone reading this thought of Elvis Presley. I was asked to find someone I found to interesting that could be a very influential voice in history. I chose Elvis Presley as he is hailed as "The King" who revolutionized pop culture with rock music and his own way of singing and dancing. It may sound like I'm about to write a long article to read but I think you can be relived to hear, I made a podcast episode. I have already been recording podcasts for my series "The Oddly Censored Podcast" and I went to record for this AP. I obviously had a few requirements to hit including interviewing two people, I interviewed a teacher and a coworker. With both the audio was not perfect because both were "one the spot" where we went to the quie...

 Throughout my time in this coding class I found it quite amusing to code the most annoying things to encounter digitally. The first was math which personally I find annoying. Then there was a prompt to try and get your credit card information. Now I have created a chatbot that acts as one of those scam, car warranty calls. Creating this one really took a while and came down to the wire as I was still trying to finish the code the day it was due. To be fair though I am trying out some code I hadn't learned in class. I had to figure out how to use a loop from examples my teacher gave me because the idea I was explaining needed its use. Without further delay, answer the scam call:  Overall I had fun with the code writing as it was a challenge, but one I knew I could overcome. I got help from friends and my teacher in trying to put it together and hope to continue making more of them in the future. If you notice things that can be added or streamlined, send me a message.  -C...

As I wrap up in Econ for the term, my action project comes together. We talked a lot about the history of our current economy and how it works. First we discussed the role and effect of the government and politics in the economy, discussing terms like "laissez faire" and "dirigisme." Next it was talking about past individuals whose theories and ideas shaped the economy today; people like Hammurabi and the first recorded economy to Karl Marx and his idea of Marxism that lead to the creation of Communism. All of this was put around a book that we read, written by Kate Raworth: Doughnut Economics . She talked about the failures of past economists, their findings, history, and how we should use it to learn and shape our economy for a better future. There are seven chapters in the book and we were asked to bring up what we think should be included in the book as the eighth chapter. My submission?
