“The Rocket Record” Podcast: Spring Well-Wishes
As we head into the first months of Spring, I thought it would be nice to instill some warm, positive feelings in students as the final months of school approach. I talked to freshman Jake, seniors Navlea and Eric, and junior Frayen about something that made them smile, and a compliment they would like to give to someone at SLA—student or faculty.
They complimented their friends, family, and the school as a whole. Eric said he was happy to be interviewed in the first place, because he was glad “people want to hear what I’m feeling.” I think this episode shows how the little things can really brighten a person’s day.
“The Rocket Record” Podcast: Book Recommendations
Mila Rosario’s video short for last week’s theme on book recommendations: “Books are universal, they come in different languages, genres, old or new there is always a book for someone out there. This video shows what different people prefer to read, setting from person to person or reader to reader… enjoy hearing about people’s fav books in this short.”
“The Rocket Record” Podcast: Friday Spotlight #3
What makes a great book? For Shahd, a senior at SLA, it’s the characters, as well as the language and themes of the story. She spoke on romance books, her favorite genre: how there is an opportunity for a plethora of stories, and how some books turn out worse than others—some in particular having to do with the author.
She recommends Verity by Colleen Hoover—some of her other books touch on unsavory topics and contain unrealistic, and frankly, traumatizing dynamics.
“The Rocket Record” Podcast: Friday Spotlight #2
For this week’s Friday Spotlight, we delved into the impact of movies and TV-shows—how come some are so much more impactful than others? What do they do differently? I spoke with senior, Rae Alexander, an avid reader and movie-watcher.
The key to a good film is an understandable plot with compelling characters. The TV-show, “The Boys,” does a great job at both of those criterion. Of course, some TV-shows hold special places in both our hearts—“Steven Universe” being Rae’s top pick.
Our recommendations are “Yellowstone,” a TV series taking place on a farm that’s fighting being sold, and “Hazbin Hotel,” an adult TV series about life in Hell as sinners try desperately to be redeemed—that doubles as a musical.
