In this episode of Hyperfixation Nation I will be talking about some questions/brain twisters and weird facts about the world.

So I have been wanting to do this episode for a while because I always have these facts in my back pocket and I like starting debates with the brain twisters because it spices life up! I always enjoy learning cool little pieces of trivia that maybe will help me win a game show some day, who knows Segment 2:Cool factsSo these are some cool facts about the world that I have found over the course of my life and thought were really cool. I actually have a note on my phone where I put new ones whenever I find one. I also did a little research for this episode but a decent amount of these are facts that I have come upon randomly.

    All About Keeper of the Lost Cities

    Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network  Show Name: Hyperfixation Nation Episode Title: Keeper of the Lost cities Episode #6 You are listening to Hyperfixation Nation, the podcast with your host Blake. In this episode of Hyperfixation Nation I will be discussing the book series Keeper of the Lost Cities. I will cover why I love the series, my thoughts on the morals of the 3 main groups of people, and Team FosterKeefe vs Fitzphie.  Segment 1: Introduction to the topic I have been reading this series since I was about 8-9 years old and it has kept me hooked ever since. Keeper of the Lost cities is a fantasy book series that has some romantic drama - but it is not the main plot point, it has relatable characters, and it has a decent amount of representation. If you enjoyed Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan and Harry Potter by JK Rowling, you will probably like KOTLC. I have loved these books for so long that one could say that it is just a love and not a hyperfixation but every time I read one, I cannot stop, I just keep reading and reading and reading. My interest levels may go up and down but I still adore the series and will talk about it with anyone at any time. I love so many aspects of it and that is what I will be getting into next! ALSO SPOILER ALERT. I will be talking about everything that has happened in published books so far.  Segment 2: My love for it - why?The villains aren’t just villains, you can see that they are human and they aren’t really ALL badThe good guys aren’t all good either- they have done things wrong and they have mixed history with their actions alsowhile the characters are fighting bad guys and have magic abilities and such, you can still tell that they are just teens alsoThe love web - it isn’t just a triangle Segment 3: Morals of both teamsNeverseen Bad guysLady gisela doing everything for her son - in a very twisted wayThey want to accomplish the same thing as the black swan but have different methodsBlack Swangood guysused to be a step ahead and now doesn’t know anything more than the kidskeeping secrets - good or bad?the genetic stuff they did to SophieCouncilsometimes good sometimes badjust trying to maintain an image want what is best for the elvesspan...

    All About Hamilton: The Musical

    Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network  Show Name: Hyperfixation Nation Episode Title: All About Hamilton: The Musical Episode #5  You are listening to Hyperfixation Nation, the podcast with your host Blake. In this episode of Hyperfixation Nation the Podcast, I will talk about the musical Hamilton and how it broke all Broadway standards. I will cover how it is different from every other Broadway musical, where it was historically accurate vs. when an artistic license was taken, and my opinion on some of the characters' decisions. Segment 1: Introduction to the topic So we’ve got the music, the actors, and the politics in the show that are different from most Broadway musicals previously. We’ve got the creative license that Lin Manuel Miranda took because it made the story more interesting, it rhymed, or it was just easier to put in the show. And we’ve got the slightly controversial decisions of the characters like Burr shooting Hamilton and Washington serving the amount of time he did.  Segment 2: How Hamilton is different from previous Broadway musicals!MusicRapHip-hopR&BSoulTraditional show tunesBlack and brown actors were on stage but the story doesn’t depict any slavesLin-Manuel Miranda, the person who wrote the music, is Puerto Rican and wanted to incorporate the feeling of being sidelined into the music and Alexander Hamilton's character but also wanted to go against the white-washing of history. There is a musical with an all-white cast that is a show about a similar time that portrays the story in a much different and could be called racist, way.Having people of color play white historical figures flips the tradition of white people in blackface being on stage. It showcases the good and bad things that these founding fathers didSally Hemmings for exampleSay no to thisThe relationship between Angelica and HamiltonThe politics/political stand that this musical representsLaurens especially being very for an all-black military forceBlack actors playing the all-white Founding FathersThe layers of the

    All about how doggos help human health!

    Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network  Show Name: Hyperfixation Nation Episode Title: The Impact of Dogs on Human Health Episode #3 You are listening to Hyperfixation Nation, the podcast with your host Blake. In this episode of Hyperfixation Nation the Podcast we discuss the impact that dogs have on human health. I will cover the impact on mental health and physical health, and the science behind it.  Segment 1: Introduction of impacts of doggos! First a quick overview, one person can have different experiences with different hyperfixations (like me), dogs are absolutely amazing and cute and they are scientifically proven to help human health, both physical and mental. The main reason for all of this is because serotonin stabilizes moods, helps with digestion and motivation, and social connections. There are other chemicals that help but serotonin has the biggest impact. Segment 2: My journey with this hyperfixation and how I learned this informationOk so I learned all of this information because last year for school we had to choose a researchable topic to write a 10 page paper and do a presentation on and I absolutely love these cute little puppers, and the not so little cute puppers, so I chose this as my topic. As you can imagine, I learned a lot about it and I thought this information was really interesting so I wanted to share. This hyperfixation was different from all of my other hyperfixations because I was stressed to complete it since it was a school project. I know that it is a hyperfixation because before I did this project, I wrote many CER’s (Claim evidence reasoning science papers) and filled up notebooks to try and convince my parents to get me a dog. I would go on walks with my parents just so that I could talk to them about dogs and they couldn’t leave (they didn’t know this was the motivation lol).  The anxiety of a due dateThe pressure of other people in my class being farther alongThe hours of doing homework (looking for cute pictures of doggos for my poster board and researching)The happy chemicals I got from doing this battling the anxiety of starting Segment 3: The impact on human mental health of dogsRegular pet dogsSerotoninSleepAnxiety/depression/illnesses caused by lowered serotoninAdhdMood stabilizationTherapy dogsSame effects as regular pet dogs plus morespan...

I will talk about the stable quests - the ones involving Zelda and the newspaper. Next, I will let you know some tips and tricks about exploring the depths. There will be some spoilers but I will say the quest I am covering beforehand so if you do not want to hear a spoiler, you can skip ahead. I have beat the game (meaning completed the main quest all the way and fought the Demon King) so I have more hearts and weapons then I did when I was fighting those bosses but I will give information for people who were around the same place I was when fighting those bosses.

Potential princess sightings (newspaper quests)Snowfield stable - Zelda’s Golden horseYou need to go north towards an Ice Gleeok. Do not fight this unless you want a 3-headed dragon blasting ice at you and a fight of your life. Instead, you can go around the area where the Gleeok is and look for a golden glowing horse. You need to do some soothing when you catch it so be prepared for that. Make sure you crouch and are quite like you would with any other horse. After it is caught, ride it back to the stable and the quest will be done. You get to keep the horse if you want to register it at the stable.Gerudo Canyon Stable - The Blocked...

I will be going into depth about the 4 boss battles at the 4 temples. There is more information to be shared about these, and other boss battles but I don’t want to spoil too much.
