“Who Did you Thank Today?” is a weekly podcast series dedicated to promoting mental well- being and mindfulness. A wise FSU professor once asked me this very question, and prompted me to think about how often we do not give thanks to those that deserve it. This podcast is designed to help you realign your thoughts and is best enjoyed at the beginning of the day, as we all live busy lives and it is easy to get caught up in the hectic nature of modern life. Episode 1 of this podcast starts by asking the question “who did you thank today?” You can give thanks to your parents, your mentors, your professors, and your friends. This episode will explore the importance of giving thanks, receiving thanks, and taking a moment out of your day in order to practice gratitude.
Hey Danielle I enjoyed your podcast intro on giving thanks to others in your life. I noticed that the overall tone of the video was one of a calming nature with soothing background audio to enhance the feeling. I found the concept of the podcast the most compelling thing about it as I had not heard of a podcast that focuses on giving thanks or showing appreciation to others which makes it very unique. I think this could get a following of people if the concept was widely known as a lot of people as you mentioned, feel the need sometimes to slow down and unwind after having a long day. This would likely primarily appeal to those of an older generation and adults that have busy days and are often stressed. The only suggestion I would have as an improvement would be the use of a sound proofing to reduce the echo in the background of the vocals. Great start to your podcast series!
Hi Danielle,
This podcast is very meditative in tone, and I think your voice carries that. The sound effects and music were calming and not too intrusive, which helps to benefit the tone you are going for. I think a podcast like this could serve very well as something like a morning ritual and could garner a rather dedicated audience if going in that direction.
What I found compelling about this podcast is that its fairly unique. Not only could something like this be interesting but it could serve a purpose to genuinely benefit someone’s mental health.
The only real improvement I would mention is that your voice was a little quiet, and even though its a very calm and meditative podcast, just a little gain on the audio would go a long way.
