Transport yourself back to the 1960s and rediscover what it means to be a “beautiful woman” by Hollywood’s standards and meet the woman who contested those ideals. In “Pretty Funny: How Barbra Streisand Challenged Hollywood Conventions”, undergraduate student Erica Simpson analyzes the beauty and gender roles prevalent in Hollywood in this time period through a modern lens for a class in Cinema and Media Studies taught by Professor Megan Minarich. Professor Minarich supplied a plethora of information on how she structures and grades podcasting assignments, which are explored more thoroughly in the show notes. Approaching the assignment through the lens of podcasting allowed Erica to take a more personal and fluid approach to discover the content she wanted to discuss, and she provided VandyVox some helpful insight into the world of podcast creation, which raise the questions, where can one find royalty free audio? How do I use GarageBand or iMovie to edit my podcast? What software is available for PCs? Luckily, VandyVox has looked into it, and the answers can be found in the show notes.
