My ideas for an Audio Doc.


Idea Number 1
My first idea falls under the category of food, but not actually eating anything. I want to focus on food etiquette more specifically on the idea of double dipping. My audience is everyone because everyone eats and everyone at some point in time has double dipped and I think it would be quite interesting to hear people’s different reactions to this food taboo.
I would most likely start of reminding my audience about the infamous Seinfeld scene where George double dips, and Jerry starts to yell and say what a terrible thing it is. This is when I would insert other people’s stories on their particular situations that involve double dipping. I then think it would be humorous to end on how people try and get themselves out of such an awkward situation.
Idea Number 2
My second idea involves the cold weather. Not everyone is born in a state that has winter or even gets cold. What is freezing in Los Angeles is most likely shorts and t-shirt weather in Alaska. I think it would be cool to interview people who where born in a so-called warm state, but that are now living in a so-called cold state. I would interview them about how they are adjusting and if there is really noticeable difference in climate.
I would probably keep the interview process to about two people, one from a warm state and one from a cold state that is now living in Ohio. I think Ohio is the perfect state to do this in because it can be cold and hot and really all over the place.
I would like to find out how the weather affects these people’s everyday lives and if it makes a noticeable impact on something like grades.
Idea Number 3
What does it take to be a hero? For my third idea I would want to interview people that live their life truly for others. To make it a more unique takes I would avoid the obvious people such as soldiers and nurses, but I would focus on people such as teachers or maintenance workers. People who may not know that they are sacrificing their lives for others, but they are.
I think this would provide a unique perspective on people who might think they are average and really have no idea on what kind of impact they have on strangers.
Idea Number 4
My idea number four might not be so unique, but I still find it very interesting, and that would be the classic question of, if one could have a superpower what would it be? I would try and take it a step further and ask, how would you help other people with this superpower? Everyone wants something that will make him or her special, but if they are unwilling to use it to help others then maybe they are not ready for being special.
It would be cool to hear how other people feel about this and if their superpower choice would actually make a difference.
Idea Number 5
For my fifth idea I would want to interview people who where just trying to help someone but it did not go their way and the person trying to help ended up getting in trouble or hurt. This is relatable because everyone has tried to help someone and it has ended up backfiring.
It would be interesting to see the varying level of trouble the initial help cause and how he or she recovered, if they recovered from the situation. And in the later part of the audio doc I would interview the person that was being helped and see if retrospectively they appreciate the help or not.
