In the premiere podcast episode of Write On!, I provide an overview
of the four types of journalistic leads - the news, feature, review, and
opinion. Each article is different, and each requires a unique
strategy. I talk about the chief aspects of each type of lead, and then
provide actual examples from our school newspaper, Spotlight.

Write
On! will feature writing tips, advice, and examples from a variety of
genres, including newspaper, academic, and creative writing. Future
topics could include "crafting thesis statements,""concluding with
authority," and "the art of analysis."
I had a lot of fun recording this, channeling my own Mark Hunter from Pump Up The Volume.
I was surprised how quickly I was able to fill the time. For future
podcasts, I may try to limit the number of segments, or work at being
more concise with my language and ideas. This was definitely a great
learning experience, and I have a new reverence for the work of the
radio personalities who entertain me on my way to and from work!
