Seeking to Understand

By: Mason
  • Summary

  • This podcast is dedicated to the understanding of popular and acclaimed media by the host(s) and any guests that we have on. For episode 0, I will be talking about two pieces of media that I greatly enjoy. The first is a current favorite song and the second is a scene from television that I find to be particularly powerful. My intent is that each guest will come on with a song and scene (or episode from a program) that they find to be particularly good. We will discuss why they feel that way and what makes it, in their opinion, good media to consume. I am always open to feedback and criticism of either my ideas or the format that we conduct these in. From there we can move into the ideas that others have and the media that they enjoy, interview-style!

  • Episode 4 - Beating the Hayd-er Allegations with Hayden
    Jul 3 2022

    Hello and welcome back, everyone! We are here again with episode 4 of season 1 (now 5 in total, wow) and my friend Hayden came on to chat about media he enjoys! Hayd did not feel like music would be a medium by which he would want to convey his ideas, so we gave him a couple additional clips from film and television to play in place of that. We spanned quite a few topics, from his favorite Rogue One scene to Invincible as well as an ICONIC fight from classic Naruto and a pinnacle of Avatar: The Last Airbender as well. Given that we stayed to one style of medium, we did explore each video in a bit more detail dependent upon them and had some great tangential conversations along the way! :)

    As always, a huge thank you to today's guest and anyone tuning in! Links will be included below and I highly recommend that you give each a watch for their individual impacts as well as the content that they offer! Have a wonderful day and thank you again to all parties involved!

    PS this is recorded on discord so bonus points to anyone who hears the very funny, very brief cameo from our friend Evan :-)

  • Episode 3: The Sky has Turned to Gold with RP
    Jul 1 2022

    In this episode, my good friend RP and I discuss two of his favorite pieces of media in a song by Ray LaMontagne and a scene from Justified. RP offers great insight into his opinion on music and specifically the current state of country music as well as the series Justified and what makes the scene and show good to him. We discuss the importance of good writing and being able to connect with the audience. As always, links included and thank you to my guest and the audience :)

    Warning momentary addressing of niche sexual anime content ironically.

    Hello to everyone tuning in! In this episode, my good friend Ben came on to talk about a song and piece of media that particularly resonate with him. We explore the importance of authenticity in what you create and in your personal life as well! The song which is shared is a classic from Kid Cudi/WZRD as well as a clip from the anime To Your Eternity. A massive thank you to Ben for his time and insight and for being a wonderful guest.
