The Robert Johnson’s Myth, and the Reality

Debating between listening to the podcast or reading the script first, I finally chose to read the script first. This podcast talks about the deeper meaning of Robert Johnson's music and how his music reflects his personality. Including the intro music, 4 songs are played in the podcast. The first song introduces Robert Johnson to the audience and gives a taste of Robert Johnson's music to the audience. Each song is centered on a main idea. The author breaks down the song and analyze the song to bring a message behind. Also, the songs makes some connections with other musicians or people in order to tell the audience what kind of person Robert Johnson is. Since I am not familiar to Johnson, I think these songs are also significant to him in his career. Prior to listening to the podcast, I was skeptical to listen to it because I did not know who Robert Johnson was. It was difficult for me to listen to something I have no knowledge because it is easily to get bored and lost with all these unfamiliar names and terms. However, after I listen to the podcast, I completely changed my mind. It is not so plain with all the reading, but also with music in between. It feels more relaxing and informal. Aside from knowing and learning about Robert Johnson, more important is to learn the skills of blending the music in the script to make it more smoothly and the tone. I think this podcast gave me a guidance for creating my own podcast as I have never created one before.
