Syracuse/Newhouse Podcast Class (Leisure)

This episode consists of a review of video game history leading into a discussion between me, a lifelong gamer, and my longtime friend, a game design major. I plan on starting with the emergence of video games as a concept, such as ‘Tennis for Two’ as well as early computer marketing demonstrations in which people would play board games like tic-tac-toe or chess. From there I will work my way up through the years and developments in technology to where we are today. Once I reach current day, I will run the midroll and transition into the discussion, in which I will introduce my friend and begin to talk about what is currently happening in the industry. Topics of discussion are general information about current industry landscape, what is popular right now, China’s first AAA title, how industry-conscious gamers are viewing large companies such as Ubisoft and Activision.  Hosted on Acast.

The Creative Exchange is a podcast where the host, Kelly Kringen, hosts weekly conversational interviews with different artists of all mediums, backgrounds, and professions. Each episode begins with a similar introduction of the artist brought by questions such as “When did you first get into art?” and “How have you navigated being an artist in today’s world?” With a focus on uncovering each individual artist’s unique perspective and creative upbringing, the podcast aims to offer its listeners an intimate look into the lives of artists and shed light on their creative individuality.In the first episode of The Creative Exchange, I am joined by artist, director, and producer Chris Renaud, who is famous for his pioneering work on films such as the Despicable Me franchise, Secret Life of Pets, and The Lorax. We begin the interview by discussing surface-level topics such as Chris’ professional timeline as an artist, then slowly dive into his deepest inspirations, his creative process, and how he tackles inevitable obstacles as a creative. The episode ends with talks of his time at Syracuse and how being a student there helped him get to where he is now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
