On Monday, March 30, Jodeane Brownlee, a MavRadio faculty advisor spoke to our class via Zoom. She spoke on topics such as how her students have adapted to different topics when not provided many to talk about and how the coronavirus has affected radio.
During this difficult time for everyone, Brownlee has seen this as a time to learn and try new things.
Brownlee said, “ this is the time to try new things.”
Since there are no sporting events, concerts of other forms of entertainment, Brownlees’ urged her students to think of content to present.
The students in MavRadio created the “Crunch Madness” bracket to replace the highly anticipated March Madness. The bracket was filled similar to the March Madness bracket, sorted by different regions.
To get the full experience the students even posted it on the MavRadio social media platforms to have the public have the ability to vote.
Brownlee presented her opinion to the class as to why she believes the media hasn’t presented more emotional moments in their broadcast.
Comparing the recent outbreak to Sept. 11, Brownlee said: “ it [9/11] was like a gut check to everyone.”
Brownlee also mentioned to the class the importance of being well rounded in all areas that may benefit you in the job. Just like every other teacher and guest speaker, Brownlee explained how being well rounded can help you get jobs because you are adaptable in different situations.
