Week 6: Response to Homecoming (Shirley Liu)

I have listened to some podcasts before such as Genius Brain by David So but not a podcast like homecoming. I found it so amazing how the developers of the project cleverly used familiar sounds to create an environment in one’s head. In order to distinguish changes in scenes, they used very distinct sounds to show one was talking over the phone without any actual visual components. The podcast I listened to was never made in this way. Genius Brain was more about conversations over current social issues. However, homecoming incorporates a variety of sound elements to stimulate our minds which I think is very creative and interesting. Additionally, the use of music was used very smartly and definitely made an impact on the overall mood of the storty.
