A selection of audio stories and produced by the students in COM 300 at St. Martin's University during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Join us for our "1000th Episode," a 2045 dystopian adventure in an extended era of COVID and its many implications. We discuss our creative methods for mitigating the frustration of quarantine, answer several calls for advice in the tough times, and bring in a longtime friend and supporter who is highly involved in the fractured political community, Jonathan Vreeland. This collaborative class project integrates the work of seven individuals in a podcasting class, adding the elements of ad saturation and an oppressive central government to a dystopian world we took artistic liberties in creating. Enjoy!
