Podcast Review: Lincoln Underground

-
By Mackenzie Ward

I listened to Lincoln Underground: Unique Hobbies of Student and Staff by Amelia Thorpe, Claire Yoo and Sydney Ward. Right away I was greeted by some very upbeat music. This definitely added to the podcast feel and I was very intrigued and excited to listen to it. There were more than two interviews and they all provided valuable and interesting information about the staff and students of Lincoln that you probably wouldn't notice at first glance. The podcast definitely stayed true to the name and I'm excited to listen to the next episode.

However, I noticed a few minor flaws in the podcasts' editing, rather than the content. There was a significant amount of background noise which I'm not sure is normal for a podcast, but it did occasionally distract me and made me less focused on the content. There were also some awkward cuts in the podcast between some of the speaking, but it wasn't too noticeable.

From listening to this podcast I took away some things I should put in my future podcast: multiple interviews, good music, credit for the music, and a photo that may relate to one of the interviewees and not just the podcasts' name on a photo and more. This did make me really excited to make my own podcast with a couple friends.

Guest post by rising sophomore Sandra Thein, photos courtesy of Kelly Ryu and Emilie Kono I love those college YouTube videos: “2018 COLLEGE DECISION REACTIONS - IVY LEAGUE AND MORE!” The enthusiasm and gratitude the applicants radiate upon hearing where they will be spending the next four years of their lives is inspiring and motivating for a high school student like me.  I'm also inspired by students closer to home. Graduating senior Emilie Kono is a student athlete with a love for science and music. "Bo th in and outside of school," says Kono, "my family, friends, coaches, teachers and mentors have all been incredibly supportive in pushing me to reach my full potential; I can’t thank them enough! I knew that I wanted to be at an academically high achieving school and Stanford was an excellent choice. Between the incredible professors, facilities and some of the brightest students in the nation, I knew that I would be lucky to join them.” The only

Photojournalism

By Faith Pauken, www.cardinaltimes.org staff member All photos by Faith Pauken Photojournalism is a form of journalism that provides images to aid in the telling of a story or news. Pictures contribute to the overall perception one may have about an article. By giving the reader a visual, they’re able to imagine what the event looked like, whether that’s showing what 100,000 people look like during a protest, or the face of an artist. During my journey through photography over the last year, I’ve been able to expand my knowledge on what makes a good photo, how to track people down and how to manage unexpected obstacles. Football/Sports Photography My personal favorite event to photograph for the last two years has been football. The fall sports season is packed with events having football easily be the most popular event on a Friday evening which makes it an important event to capture. If someone misses one game they feel like they missed out; this is where my job

Frankie Lopez Profile By: Alexander Rozas When you picture a star soccer player’s life, you might imagine them attractive, popular and smart. However, soccer star Francisco Lopez was depressed, bullied and during his professional career was riddled with sports anxiety. Now he helps kids who are going through the same mental problems he did. Lopez remembers that the peak of his soccer career was in his senior year of high school where McMinnville High School made the finals. “Before that, not many people came to the games, but during the finals over 4,000 people came to support the team,” said Lopez. The game ended with McMinnville beating the powerhouse Jesuit 8-7 in a penalty shootout. It was a dream come true. “Winning the State Championship was the best feeling of my life and I haven’t been able to replicate that feeling or experience,” said Lopez. “It really brought the community together.” Lopez ended up bringing the trophy home with him and slept with
