Cassie's Podcast was very effective. She used her voice very effectively. It was clear and concise, which allowed the viewer to easily follow what was being said. Cassie spoke slowly and clearly, allowing the viewer to absorb each of the influences and stylistic elements.
Contributing to this good flow was also the use of visuals. Cassie incorporated quotes, which allowed the viewer to see exactly what she was trying to convey. She also used visuals that supported what was being said. No image was left on the screen too long - which also kept the interest of the viewer. Another thing Cassie did effectively was incorporating a video clip that was based off of Dorothy Allison's novel "Bastard out of Carolina." This video was very powerful and certainly grabbed the viewer's attention. It was both disturbing and eye-opening, and established a strong tone that really emphasized Dorothy's life experiences and how they come through in her writing.
The original piece was also presented very effectively. I like how Cassie gave each character their own voice - this really brought the characters to life for the viewer. I also liked the analysis of the original piece. Instead of just reading through her original piece, Cassie broke it up and read sections that applied to each individual stylistic element she was addressing. This allowed the viewer to see precisely how Dorothy uses stylistic elements and how Cassie incorporated these elements, side by side.
I don't know what else I can say about Cassie's Podcast. It was done very well. All information was relevant and presented in an interesting and easy to follow manner.
