A Huge Pay Cut for Doctors is hiding in the Fiscal- Cliff

In the beginning of the NPR the host starts out just introducing and explaining the topic right off back. Reading the first sentence and wanting to become a doctor, I want to truly read on. Then introducing everyone else is fairly well. Learning about the huge pay cut for doctors makes for many people to reconsider the field. However many future doctors don’t know about this cut, but do to the ObamaCare coming in the beginning of the year can result in the pay cut. Also it has a lot of information for people to truly understand what types of cuts are expected. Having professionals in the podcast enhances that more people will listen due to the fact of their level of profession. Facts are beneficial and keep the listeners listening. Due to the fact that most are influenced by this the fact of the NPR relates to the aspects of many things. The conclusion is great as well. Ending it off with a professional that knows their stuff. Numbers are big in this NPR, because they explain a formula that enhances the aspects of the cuts.

WP3 Rough Draft

Anthony Castruita, HOST:

A man goes to the hospital to visit his Chinese neighbor, who’s on life- support. When he comes near his bed, his neighbor screams something in Chinese, and then dies. A month later, the man goes to his neighbor’s funeral to hold a speech, saying “I still remember the last thing he said to me.” He then repeats his neighbor’s last words, and the neighbor’s family is in shocked. Confused, the man asks his neighbor’s widow what he just said and she replies: It means “You’re standing on my oxygen tube jerk!”

Just a little joke to set the mood, but enough of my jokes here is an excerpt from Noah Findley.

Anthony Castruita, HOST:

ASU Comedy is a group on campus that performs comedian acts to the student body/ visitors at the MU Stage. However the part of it we are going to focus on is the ASU Stand Up. ASU Stand Up is called Stand Up vs The World which was influenced by Jonathan Davis. The purpose of this group of students is to do what they love to do and that is stand up. They have a passion to make people laugh while also being themselves telling hilarious jokes. The comedy shows are free which a major plus for students looking to have a great time at little to no cost.

No matter what the occasion, going to one of these events will provide a night with a lot of laughter and excitement. Each comic performer has their own style with each provides a variety of different jokes and topics. Furthermore each has a different experience when it comes to life, even to school.  A sense of humor is a big thing when it comes to people. Having a sense of humor brings a good time to any type of activity. Coming to one of these events will provide a great hangout or if you’re having a bad week laughter can make up for a rough five days. SU vs TW is every Friday at 9:00 pm sharp at the MU stage. There are other events involving ASU Comedy on Fridays but SU vs TW is bar far a funnier type with just a stand up king of atmosphere.

Payum Sedahgat: Talks about the aspects of the show. How he feels about the show and any recommendations of the show.

Anthony Castruita: Many people are unfamiliar that ASU has a stand-up comedy type event going on at campus. Being a child from a father that is a comedian makes me want to find a way to laugh. Going to these events I seem to get out laughter easily adapting to the topics of the current college students jokes. I don’t usually laugh at anything, but I give everything a chance to make me laugh at certain things. For some inexpensive experience and some laughter, highly recommend coming to a show not only for support, but the experience. And if you think that you’re funnier than the comics on stage  they will call you on stage and see if you got what it takes. On that note I think that I will soon have to give that a try to see if everything works out if I want to pursue a comedy career.

(Sound Bit)- Jonathan Davis

Jonathan Davis: Talks about what made him start SU vs TW; what led him to comedy; how does he think comedy has evolved at ASU, SU vs TW compared to other shows, and how to join if interested.

Anthony Castruita: Thanks to everyone sharing their thoughts and opinions when it comes to ASU Comedy. As said before the show brings a lot of laughter and you can even join if interested. Need a night of laughter or even something to do come down to the MU stage every Friday at 9 pm and be a part of the hilarious stand up presented by the ASU Comedy club on campus. The importance of this show is to bring on the laughter in the student body of the Sun Devils. .

Podcast Idea Blog

ASU Comedy is sort of like a club/ event kind of thing. The interesting thing about this is that they are a group of college students just trying to do what they love, which is comedy and make people laugh. Also the shows are free and anybody can join if they have good comedy skills. What is different is that usually the crowd is only students, but some are outsiders. Being in the MU it provides a type of Improv atmosphere. What is somewhat cool is that most of the people are funnier than most. However whatever anyone’s sense of humor they will laugh at some point. Only thing unpleasant would have to be just some of the things people say, some of it can be over the top and some just a little unnecessary. The reason why this group matters is because everyone needs to laugh once in a while. The more a person smiles, laughs more the longer they live. No matter what someone is going through in a day, laughter can change the day into a great one.  Without the ASU Comedy club/ events I don’t know what most people would do to try to get a bunch of laughs for free.

Sources- Interview two comics, couple members of the audience. Look for reasons on why the come? What made them start doing comedy? What are their intentions? Would you recommend these events to anyone? Look at some websites for reviews.

To begin I probably will start off with a joke or maybe a snippet from a comic to just get the mood settled for my audience. After that I will probably start of talking first giving the back ground information of ASU Comedy Club. After that I will include a comic that is a regular to open up with a joke. Interview the comic and ask some questions about the events and also some things that keep them doing the shows. After that I will explain the fan base and audience average of the events. Then after interview some audience members to get their takes on the events. It is important to get nonbiased members for best results. It will just flow chronological order. The story line is just about the events an trying to get people to attend the events for a fun night filled with laughter. I will be the main speaker when it comes to narrating the podcast.  Furthermore just try to settle and get my point across to the listeners. Use a lot of humor to go along with topic. Make my listeners laugh to keep the interested and always wanting to hear more. Jokes will have to be short due to the amount of time given on the project.

WP 2 Reflection Blog

Writing Project two was a very interesting detailed oriented project. Research was plentiful and the work beyond just an idea came about. The things I liked about it would first be making a map for the first time in a blog. Next would have to be getting to pick the particular places and doing research on the venues. Also being an out of state student my family tends to visit occasionally and always ask what there is to do in the desert. Now knowing how to do a map, I can make a map for my family or just tell them to look on Yelp. There was not much do dislike about this project. The only con would have to be stressing on how to put the map in the blog. The challenges on the project would have to be being unbiased about certain venues. Like don’t like one or have more information for one rather than the others because of favoritism. Insights would have to be that each one of these venues has a story with every one of them being different. Not giving up they pushed to have their dreams met and fulfilled. Nothing was going to stop them, not even the doubters. Also just by one specific recipe or as I say banger these chains are successful throughout America. Furthermore that each of them took the concept of chicken and expanded it into million dollar companies by just putting a twist on chicken. All in all I had a fun time with this project and it has not only helpe me out in this class, but also the future as well.

When it comes to the reading and WP 2 there are many similarities and differences.The whole point of writing this project was to make a map and basically a review of many different places throughout the city of Tempe. Furthermore choosing a topic was not that difficult but a relatively new and entertaining subject to readers was a key point. There also comes in a factor of what is around and the varieties. Chicken is spread out a lot through Tempe with a high variety of many different places. Every where you look there are all kinds of chicken joints throughout. Each varying in taste, customer service, and price. Popularity also plays a key role in the choosing of the particular chain. When it came to this aspect many factors played into the part of the best one. Many college students are trying to save money so obviously price pays a major factor when it comes to the place. Learning about how different corporations arose and their stories is somewhat interesting. The reason for interest would have to do with the possibility of not only liking the new place but getting a sense of knowledge of the company.
