The first episode of the series deals with academics. I thought it would be a good idea to start off with this topic because it helps to sell the idea that the podcast is actually a class. Also, it is a very simple topic and one that most listeners can learn from. Students usually have a hard time with academics, so being able to learn how they can figure out a solution is a great way to help. It is better to cater to someone’s needs than tell them something they may not care about. That way, they may want to listen to more episodes and start to like the series. The episode itself talks about different subjects. First it starts with how academics in college are different from high school. It is important to know the difference between them before continuing to describe the rest of the details.
