Our Classroom Journey

The halls of CASA buzzed with excitement on Friday, September 13, as the CASA Podcast Club held its inaugural in-person meeting of the school year. After weeks of virtual planning, club members finally had the chance to collaborate face-to-face, bringing their creative energy to the same room.

Co-leaders Jacob and Kyler took the helm, guiding the group through a packed agenda with the professionalism of seasoned producers. The meeting was a whirlwind of ideas, decisions, and laughter, setting a promising tone for the podcast’s future.

One of the meeting’s highlights was the unveiling of the podcast logo, skillfully designed by Julia and Willow. Their creation was met with enthusiastic approval from the group, who offered constructive feedback to refine the design further. The duo’s artistic talents have already put a visual stamp on the club’s identity.

In a stroke of creative genius, the club decided to produce a trailer for their podcast with a distinctly humorous twist. Drawing inspiration from the cult classic “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” the trailer promises to be an attention-grabbing introduction to the show. This clever approach not only showcases the team’s wit but also sets the stage for the podcast’s unique personality.

The meeting also saw significant progress in production planning. Members collaboratively outlined the structure for their first episode, deciding to adopt a segmented approach. This method will allow small groups to work on different parts of the episode simultaneously, fostering teamwork and efficiency. The final product will be a mosaic of the club’s collective talents, edited together into a cohesive whole.

Recognizing the need for swift communication, the tech-savvy group established a group chat system to complement their existing Google Docs and email channels. This multi-platform approach ensures that ideas can flow freely, even outside of scheduled meetings.

As the meeting drew to a close, the room was charged with anticipation. The CASA Podcast Club had transformed from a concept into a tangible project, with each member ready to play their part in bringing the podcast to life.

Club advisor Guy Myers remarked, “The energy and creativity in that room were awesome. These students are not just making a podcast; they’re building a community and finding their voices. I can’t wait to see where they take this project.”

Stay tuned for the release of the CASA Podcast trailer, coming soon to a digital platform near you. If the first meeting is any indication, audiences are in for a treat when Episode One drops later this year.
