In 2020, we were thinking about what our schools' post covid would look like. In 2022, we can think of what post school looks like with covid (mostly) out of the equation. That said, it’s no secret that graduating students tend to experience a range of emotions: from pride and anticipation, to fear and discouragement, all or any I failed to mention are relatively normal. Select + CT’s season 2, episode 9 covers that post graduation scenario in what I think is in a more appealing light. Guest speaker Steve Harper provided a great perspective on both post covid, and post school, post covid (sorry, that was a mouthful).

    Guests: Chris Argento - VP of Audio, WWE | Justin Matley - Re-Recording Mixer & Sound Designer, Freelance Host: David DesRoches, Quinnipiac University  "Select+CT" is a Digital Media Connecticut (DMCT) podcast series connecting you to Connecticut's Digital Media industry Did you know that audio media such as cassette tapes are making a re-appearance in terms of sales? I suppose this is due to the need we now feel to disconnect from our constant online-lives. Though audio production is popularly known as the making of music, it’s actually super prominent in other forms of media. From movies ranking 100% on the “rotten tomatoes' ' score, to pesky advertisements, or the news, the audio industry seeps into most everything we consume (and that’s a good thing). Season 2, episode 5 of Select CT’s podcast interviews Chris Argento - VP of Audio, WWE, and Justin Matley - Re-Recording Mixer & Sound Designer, Freelance, to discuss what consumer presentable audio can manifest for a media project.

    Guests: John Murphy, University of Connecticut, Digital Media Department Host: David DesRoches, Quinnipiac University  "Select+CT" is a Digital Media Connecticut (DMCT) podcast series connecting you to Connecticut's Digital Media industry! Social media listening companies have agreements with Reddit, Twitter, ect. to gain insight on what we transfer from our mind to the screen. When you’re employed by one of these info-seeking-agencies, being able to balance social media listening so that it doesn't carry over into cyber stalking (a crime) is important. From a company perspective, John emphasizes that you need to know from an ethical standpoint what you’re going to do with collecting that legal & public information. “Rule of thumb is if it feels icky, don’t do it.” he added.
