VAA Podcast Guests Deep Dives
Deep Dives came about because of the way I research the interviews/ conversations of our guests on the Podcast. They simulate the process I go through in searching for content. I spend around 5-8 hours researching our guests for each episode and I first cast a wide net of resources. I use a wide variety of resources to create a picture in my head of what's at the core of each guest. A big part of that is tied to the idea of experiential learning, which just means if I am interviewing an actor, I will watch a film, or if it's a musical act . I'll listen to a few albums. This is the reason why we create our pwn video and audio playlists. The Deep Dives provide a framework to explore on your own and choose the links, articles, that speak to you. I also look for resources and interviews that dig deeper and don't just ask the same questions as everyone else. Our goal for the interviews/conversations is to never ask a question that's been asked 100 times before, so we seek out unique content.
Deep Dives are well researched investigations into a person or subject and includes articles, video playlists, audio playlists, books, and such. They are meant to be self-directed resources that you can dig into as much as you'd like, as well as experience the work of a person or topic. This idea is based on two education concepts. One is self-directed learning (https://www.self-directed.org/sde/) and the other is based on the idea of experiential learning. Simply put the goal is to listen, watch, and experience the content instead of just reading but also based on your own exploration and interests where you control the way your learn. These concepts come out of working with disabled folks, and folks who learn different from working in the psych field and as a teacher for 30 years. https://experientiallearninginstitute.org/resources/what-is-experiential-learning/
AGE WARNING - 18 and Up - About 1/3 of the content is 18 and above, although there are no nude images or anything. Just recommended that since they have adult themes and content, so under 18 should get parent or guardian approval to view.
These are all Deep Dives of all of our guests.
