Our podcast discusses many culinary gems that Bethlehem has to offer to both the Lehigh University student body, as well as Bethlehem residents. We chose this topic because as students at Lehigh ourselves, eating on campus definitely can get boring and sometimes you just want to switch it up! So we've decided to go around to some of our favorite restaurants to eat at, as well as discover some new places, and share them with you!
Doing a podcast was definitely a lot easier than some of other projects we've done in class thus far. Basically, Alyssa and I just had a conversation for 11 minutes, but we made sure to organize our topics and loosely time how long we discuss each topic.
Though there are definitely a few moments here and there where the conversation seems a bit awkward or our faces seem a bit shaky, I think we ultimately executed the assignment well and covered everything we were supposed to!

Bethlehem Restaurants- Why Use Our Guide?
This audio file will hopefully explain to Bethlehem residents why we think it is so important to experiment and try new local eateries, inspiring us to create this project. We talk about how we discovered some of the eateries we have gone to, how we have gotten sources, why we felt there was a need to uncover these gems, why students do not find them, etc.
Doing a podcast was a little easier than I expected, however we did have to practice a little bit. We ended up making an outline of the topics we wanted to cover, and allowing around 2 minutes for each topic. We agreed that the podcast would be most interesting if we tried to include stories from our personal lives, relating this project back to ourselves in a way. Ten minutes of listening to facts and observations would get a little boring.
We tried our very hardest to have a real-life conversation- very casual. We worked off each other's points to create a dynamic atmosphere. There are definitely a few points where are voices seem stiff, but overall I think we did a good job describing the purpose of our project while bringing a little fun into the podcast.
