About our meeting:

We decided to record our podcast together on Wednesday, February 17 at 3 PM. Tim will record the meeting via Zoom and edit the final audio. We will have music coming in before the actual introduction. The co-hosts then will greet group members and keep the flow by asking questions between segments. The content of our discussions focuses on answering how society’s values and norms about gender roles have been changing over time. Finally, Vivian will wrap everything up with a conclusion about the topic.

I am the script editor; thus, I will be putting together the members’ outlines into a master script. We have three segments discussing three topics, and each will be between 5-7 minutes. I’ll deliver the script to my teammates by Wednesday morning so they can practice their lines before the recording session.
