    The Meaning and Romance of Symbols

    The Meaning and Romance of Symbols

    When an ordinary noun is given a new meaning by people, it will no longer be an ordinary noun. It can symbolize things that make people happy or sad. It has become a symbol because of its own meaning. Symbol is universal, abstract and changeable. When we face a symbol in our life, we don't have a deep understanding of it. We only have a superficial understanding of its meaning, but we don't know why it is given such meaning and what kind of information this symbol carries.And in different countries, the same symbols have different meanings, some of which are even diametrically opposite. This is also a manifestation of cultural differences, isn't it interesting? Therefore, in my blog, I will choose a symbol in an episode to explain the story that each symbol is given different meanings under the influence of different national cultures, so as to make the audience understand it better. Each story is very interesting and brilliant. I think the audience will like them.

    Social Media; A Double Edged Sword

    Social Media; A Double Edged Sword

    Social media has almost become an indispensable part of our life. We can contact relatives, friends and classmates on social media, and we can also meet new friends. Social media helps us strengthen the connection between people in life. However, sometimes we also find that when we are too involved in the social networking of the network, we also unconsciously ignore the social networking around us. Similarly, when we enjoy the constantly updated and changing information on social media, the information explosion will also bring us trouble and affect our cognition to a certain extent. Like many things, social media has two sides. I will discuss the impact of social media in combination with my own experience and academic literature, and give my own solutions at the end.

    Heroiam Slava!

    Heroiam Slava!

    I am using this opportunity to raise awareness and show support of Ukraine’s independence, culture and bravery. For my podcast I wish to primarily showcase personal anecdotes that I have collated. I will also be targeting some of the misinterpretations that the western media has been promoting, as well as general misunderstandings that many here in the UK seem to have about the longer historical aspects as well as the global implications of this war. Over the course of this 20 minute episode you will hear from me as well as two very special guests. Thanks for joining me. My solidarity and support goes out to the people of Ukraine and those that hope for a future free of oppression. My condolences to all those who lost their lives or loved ones, human or otherwise.

    Breaking the Boundaries of Sight and Hearing

    Breaking the Boundaries of Sight and Hearing

    My podcast episode is an audiobook. Adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's darkly styled Gothic terrorism writings. Serving audiences with fragmented time and visually impaired persons. Based on The Fall of the House of Usher. The original work is a first-person narration, so it needs to be adapted into the form of the host, the protagonist, and the supporting characters reading their lines separately, and the sound effects added later. The Fall of the House of Usher is the work of Edgar Allan Poe, a famous American horror novelist in the first half of the last century. The work is profound and very literary, and I'm going to turn it into a podcast-worthy novel. The Fall of Usher is the work of the famous American horror novelist Edgar Allan Poe in the first half of the last century. The work is profound and literary, and I'm going to turn it into a podcast-friendly novel. There will also be changes in the plot, as the voice actor character needs to be given the opportunity to speak. This work aims to break the boundaries between hearing and seeing, and if only sighted people can enjoy great Halloween stories and literature, the world is too bad for blind people!
