Bite-Sized Existential Crisis EP. 2 Control Issues
December 13, 2019
Is your life really yours? How much control do you really have over your life? Welcome back to the podcast where I panic about the universe so you don’t have to. Fair warning: this is one hard pill to swallow.

About the Writer
It was very Imaginative and you can tell that a lot of research went into this production. Your evidence and interpretation of said evidence is food for thought and leaves you coming away even more interested than when you started.
This podcast was not what I thought it would be at all. The opening story of 9/11 was not what I expected in this podcast. The cheerful music behind talking about no control was actually kinda hilarious because you are taking a horrible fact that we have no control with such happy music behind it. This podcast is amazing and also horrible because now I’m worried I have a false memory.
Successfully covered a hard topic. Looking forward to more episodes in the future.
The podcaster’s voice is very soothing to listen to; it provides emphasis on important concepts and flows naturally. The podcast as a whole is a great concept- the theme and topics are interesting and unique. The podcast starts a conversation and causes listeners to continue to think about the topic (for this episode, control). It’s memorable and makes me want to continue listening to other podcasts in the series. Well produced and thought out, it’s a type of podcast that I would listen to when wanting to relax.
This show gave me a bite-sized existential crisis, thanks. The reflections on life and our tiny decisions really made me wonder if I have ever unintentionally done something like this if I had left 3 min earlier for school could I have been T-Boned by a Semi running a red light, wow.
The voice you used was very calming, a great delivery!
One of the most notable things about this podcast is the fact that your voice remains calm and easy going, if not even a bit optimistic while talking about such a horrific event in the begining. The entire set up in the begining about 9/11 is a good transition into the existential topic about not having any control over our own lives and especially memory. Although the thought does occur to me, could our personality also be out of our control as well? Wouldn’t our personality be influenced by how we’re raised and our experiences making our own personality not truly who we are? Anyway, amazing podcast and very nice editing!
I love your podcasts, they truly tell a story. The music, the lives of these people…I honestly enjoy it every time! Great job 🙂 -ep 2 bite-sized
This gave me an existential crisis. It is a little jarring how the speaker stays calm and collected when speaking about things like 9/11. The happy music also throws me off.
This podcast is really well-done! The delivery is excellent. Your editing, especially in the inclusion of sound effects, is great. The topic has been thoroughly research and approached with care and nuance. Thanks for the existential crisis.
I absolutely loved the intro, it set up the whole podcast so beautifully. The whole thing flowed really well together, great job! 🙂
The introduction caught me off guard and kept me wanting to hear more, the part about false memories was really well put together and taught me something i didnt know about.
I can tell that a lot of research went into this podcast. The voice was very smooth and calming and I think it was the perfect tone for talking about such a terrible event. I also think the flow of the podcast kept me engaged and wanting to keep listening. Overall a very good job!
I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. I was doing other work while listening at the same time, but the script was engaging and her voice was soothing and easy to listen to. I like how she incoroporated retorical questions to include the listener in her brain processesing, and the sound effects really puts the listener in a spot where they feel like they’re there at the scene of the incident. It sounds like she put an immense amount of research into this podcast and it definitely benefited her performance greatly.
The music and narrator’s voice were very calming. I would listen to this podcast just to relax, honestly, even though the topics are, well, existential crises. The podcast was also really educational, but conveyed information in a way where I didn’t get bored of it, which is usually what happens with me and educational stuff. Overall, it was very well produced, relaxing, informational, and made me think about things that I don’t usually think about.
I think this podcast is really good, and educates the audience very well. Great good.
Maylee, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your voice is perfect. Very well produced in regards to music and SFX. I love the existentialism and your take on how much control we have. Amazing.
