Ava Quote #237
Quote from Ava in Read-A-Thon
Jacob: Okay, alright. Um, yeah, good, uh, energy, but maybe rein it in a tad. Remember, this is about journalistic storytelling, okay? There's no need to argue.
Clarence: This is what podcasts are about. We're just being ourselves.
Raheem: Yeah, I checked out some of those podcasts you were telling us about. It's like listening to school.
Ava: Don't waste your time. Those nerds speak like a bow tie came to life.

Quote from Ava
Jacob: Anyways, here is something to go off of for Episode 1. But, you know, make it your own. Wherever the story takes you, go there.
Ava: Y'all be careful. That equipment ain't cheap. You think just anybody can start a podcast? Please!

Ava: Oh, you haven't heard of the Coleman Podcast Network? It's a couple of Housewife recaps, Banana Mouth, my screenwriting-advice podcast, Catch These Fade Ins, not to mention my ASMR endeavors. [whispering] But Spotify made me take those down. [ASMR eating noises]
Quote from Jacob
Jacob: Janine! Did you see the big news?
Janine: Oh, my God. Did the multi-color pushpins come in?
Jacob: No. Well, I mean, yes, that is huge. But, uh, I got two sign-ups for after-school podcast club.
Janine: Oh! Two. Two? Wow! That... That's enough to tango.
Jacob: I cannot wait to get started. I'm picturing This American Life meets Pod Save America with the research of The Daily, the storytelling of The Moth, all while, like, redefining the form, à la Radiolab.
Janine: How many white podcasts do you listen to?
Jacob: Hundreds. I listen at triple speed, though, you know, to fit them all in. Actually, this conversation kind of feels like it's in slow motion. But I am so informed.
