Now that I have completed the scripted story podcast, here is a recap of the project. My overall goal for this project was to get the word out that UNE student athletes need more options for food before and after games and practices. With that, I interviewed 6 student athletes here from all different sports and seasons and asked what their opinions were on the food options here at UNE, and what changes need to be made to make it more accessible for us. Their answers were pretty much the same with the times that the Dhall and forum need to be open longer, or the overall food options just are not good enough for our needs. I then interviewed a nutritionist minor here at UNE. The interview was not good enough quality and my time restraints were also an issue. I did not add in her interview, but I recapped what we had talked about and the information provided from her. She mentioned that student athletes should be eating more calories than most think. The last person I interviewed was the head of parkhurst dining at UNE, and she answered the questions based on the importance of student athletes, and how she is trying her hardest to provide late night services for student athletes, along with future things that are going to be provided. Overall, I am proud of this podcast and how far it has come in the last few weeks. All the benchmarks have also been met. I hope this podcast can help UNE figure out a way to support the student athletes, while student athletes also learn to advocate for themselves. Thank you for listening to this podcast, and thank you interviewees for allowing me to record you. The music today is from Freesounds.org.
