Peer Review for Brady Thomas

I peer reviewed Brady's podcast about his self-reflection, which can be found here.

Peer Review:
Let me start out by saying that you really have a good grasp on the circumstances that surround your writing process. Your opinions and standpoints on things like the interviews and you position as a freshman in college was something that never really occurred to me, and I feel as though it's really unique for this topic. I think that this is probably the best part of your project; keep the current audio, it's really good.
One thing I wish your narration did have was a bit more focus on the genres themselves. From the perspective of a dictionary definition, the self-reflection is supposed to be about your writing process, and that includes how much time the different genres take. Well, at least from my perspective that's what affected my writing process the most. This may be different for you, and, if so, then it's definitely okay to keep your project as is.
In conclusion, I like it as a rough cut. You really seem to know what you're talking about and what you learned from these project and college in general. I definitely think that the final cut is going to end up really well done.

Personal Thoughts:
I feel as though I wasn't too much help to Brady since his podcast was really good, it just bare bones since it's only him talking right now. Of course, he needs extra audio so it's not just him talking into the mic for 11 minutes, but it's not my position to choose what he needs to do for that portion of his project. I don't want to mess with what Brady thinks this project will look like.

I incorporated the use of genre in this peer review since I feel as though Brady didn't touch on it too much. It's not necessarily the most important aspect of the podcast, but I do feel as though mentioning the constraints of different genre is important for sure.

I probably learned that Brady's podcast seemed for personal than mine. My podcast was mostly just a event-by-event explanation of why my writing process was altered, but Brady's seemed more real. It's something I respect about his project for sure.
