blog 6 make up...

i would have liked my podcast to reach an athletic audience or a political audience because it had to do with both sides weather it was sports or politics. since baseball has become a world wide sport i think the topic of immigration in baseball is a key topic to talk about and give the audience a since that baseball is not just a game for a lot of players and families. i would try and put this on sports sites like espn.com and national news like cnn.com in the sports section and maybe get it in some kind of world wide site but the best place would probably be youtube in this day and age. its a sports radio show so espn would be the best way to get this out.

the way i turned my argument to a audio to appeal to the audience was use a real life radio show "mike and mike in the morning show" and make my own up so that people could relate to it if you have watched it or listen to it before. we called it the "Marcus and Stacey in the morning show" we did our own re enactment of the show and put the points from my immigration in baseball into the show and discussed it with the other person in the show.

in the show i wanted to put a big emphasis on informing the audience what kind of things cuban defectors have to go through just to get a chance to play in america and the risk they take. not by them just having to escape there country by way of an unsecured boat thats probably made by someone thats not a professional, thats a big risk but another problem would be theres not many cuban players that make it big and end up making a lot of money at the end of the day so they are taking a big risk by coming over here leaving there family and there country.

i did a radio podcast so there weren't any visuals but i used the theme song from espn at the beginning for the show but i couldnt find the mike and mike shows song but there on espn so i figured that would be fine. the most difficult part of the podcast was trying to stay on the main points and not ramble on
