From generally looking at all the podcasts, I thought that a podcast would be easy to make, but listening to the different ones posted and looking at the program Ms. Hilal went over, I realized that it is indeed a difficult task.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that after Hurricane Katrina half of the population of New Orleans left and did not return, many of them being black citizens.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I learned is that individuals with asthma living in West Port of Oakland have been hospitalized for asthma cases so much more when compared to cases found in any other city.

# data[].attributes.body
Listening to the "What Katrina Taught Us..." podcast, it made me feel disturbed about the situations that certain people have to face, as opposed to others.

# data[].attributes.body
In the hurricane Katrina podcast, I learned that many people did not return from when they were displaced from the hurricane because of financial reasons.

I didn't know that diesel trucks were all so populated in areas such as West Oakland. I didn't previously know that diesel could emit so much smoke and pollution that it could influence health so vastly

Various commentary articles from the podcast "Seeking Justice: On Repeat, In Every Language, Unceasingly" discuss huge amounts of money being taken from finances, rendering the United States less safe and catastrophic.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned from the podcast that the type of music you pick will determine how the mood of the podcast sets. I listen to the living downstream podcast and I notice that most of the people being interviewed are people of color and they talk about their struggles in the community they live in.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that made me kind of upset and even dumbfounded is how some of the more richer and modern houses, are lacking in something so simple such as air filtration systems in their homes. This could explain why the air quality could have gotten so bad

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that half of New Orleans population left after hurricane Katrina, most of them were black

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that a podcast includes a lot of perspectives, and the more people that speak in the podcast, the more interesting it becomes.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that aid was given equally and reparation funds were given equally throughout communities for huricane damage, but I was wrong. It is actually given to the richer areas first and the poorer areas have to fend for themselves for a while after

# data[].attributes.body
[Katrina Podcast] I learned that from the aftermath of Katrina, the housing for communities to be built back up took a long time due to the racial demographics of what it stemmed from.

Ricardo-West Oakland's 'Diesel Death Zone'

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that the air around the port of oakland california makes people sick.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that I learned was that poorer people often get more affected by the environmental disasters and they are more likely to live near a place where a lot of that happens.

# data[].attributes.body
1 Thing I learned from the podcast about Hurricane Katrina is that the population of New Orleans consists of many black people and the majority of those black people want to keep it that way.

# data[].attributes.body
[Katrina Podcast] One think that challenged a misconception of mine was how quickly homes are being restored. This is not the case as the provided income also comes into as a challenge in those communities.

# data[].attributes.body
White people living in New Orleans hoped that after Katrina the Black residents would not return, this evoked feeling of anger and disappointment that after experiencing a life changing disaster with your community, they continued to be hateful towards Black people.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that when making a podcast, it´ll be hard to not stutter as much as I do when I usually talk to. I also listened to the Health, Wealth, and Race in Today´s Louisiana podcast. I learned that the black community struggle to stay in places that they need to stay due to the racism they go through.

# data[].attributes.body
I think listening to this podcast has made me realize that even though Milpitas and Oakland are both in California and relatively close to one another, the environmental situation that both cities are facing are much different. Hearing the perspective of the people in this podcast made me realize how specific different factors can be when it comes to negatively affecting the environment

# data[].attributes.body
I didn’t realize how much work goes into making a podcast. I thought I was going to just do a commentary on some notes but now I know that this is something you need to get invested in

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't know that the government handled the situation in New Orleans with a bit of institutional racism.

# data[].attributes.body
- Katrina
After the Katrina hit the city, its population has dropped by half, and most of their black residents did not return to New Orleans.

# data[].attributes.body
In the "What Katrina Taught Us About Race" podcast, it mentioned that although it seems like African Americans and other colored races were hit the most from the hurricane, they were not the only victims. White people too suffered, however due to the selective media coverage, only certain people were shown to be harmed.

# data[].attributes.body
I realized that when it comes to creating a podcast, you have to speak at a pace where people can understand and hear the speaker clearly.

# data[].attributes.body
Through "What Katrina Taught Us About Race" a topic that was focused on was the general race and income demographic of the communities effected by the hurricane. The perspective that was offered was one of the people who believed that the actions of the government were driven by a form a racism. The response has been less that up to par as they left many people without support for unreasonable amounts of time. Their argument stemmed for the idea that had the areas effected been of rich white neighborhoods the response would have been more effective and urgent.

# data[].attributes.body
It invoked anger in me when the government doesnt give money equally for reparations throughout new orleans after hurricane katrina.

# data[].attributes.body
An emotion that this podcast made me feel is anger, I find it so hard to believe that are government took so long to help out the city of New Orleans. And based on the evidence that is given it might be because it a mostly black city

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that in Hurricane Katrina, it left many hurt. Especially the black community leaving them with a flooded city after the hurricane, even after news died down they had no help.

# data[].attributes.body
I did not know that diesel smoke was the number 1 toxic air pollutant in california.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't realize that receding lake water could pose environmental threats like worsened air quality to communities close by and far away. I thought the effects would be more direct to the water and organisms that are dependent on it.

# data[].attributes.body
1 thing I learn from the podcast about Hurricane Katrina is devastated coastal areas of the Gulf Coast states of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, including the city of New Orleans. It was among the greatest of natural disasters to ever strike the U.S.

# data[].attributes.body
That it was hard and is still really hard to get back up on too your feet after a Huricane, expecially when your family can barely stay on their feet without a hurricane

# data[].attributes.body
It made me a little frustrated that Kanye West would take the actions of an entire government as a whole and put it against 1 man. I was also angry that the money wasn't given out equally but I doubt that I would every consider holding that against one singular person.

# data[].attributes.body
I had no idea about how much work and information is put into such a little amount of time. This makes me realize I have to prepare well before I start the project.

# data[].attributes.body
[Katrina Podcast] One thing that sparked my emotion of disturbance was how unfairly certain areas were readily being treated than others-- especially in areas of majority of black communities.

# data[].attributes.body
The fact that people in the black community struggle to stay in one place due to racism. Louisiana farmers struggle to make sugar cane because they keep moving from one place to another.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that I learned while listening to the "What Katrina taught us about race" is that a year after Hurricane Katrina hit in New Orleans, half of its population dropped and left and they never came back. Most of the citizens that left where black citizens

# data[].attributes.body
I had assumed that after Katrina the people received immediate help especially from the government, however it was the opposite, it took the federal government a week to provide aid to the victims.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that challenged me from the podcast "Seeking Justice: On Repeat, In Every Language, Unceasingly" was how the government killed the economy. According to the podcast, the administration was soliciting donations from the needy but not from the wealthy.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't know that this community was not getting help even a year after the hurricane had pasted. I thought everyone would get help from Red Cross, and or the government.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned from the podcast was that Hurricane Katrina lead to some racial backlash, leaving some who were poor and black behind to cope with the disaster.

# data[].attributes.body
something that made me frustrated was that this smoke can cause health problems and there is a lot of smoke.

# data[].attributes.body
From listening all the podcast, I thought the podcast would be a little difficult because i never did a podcast before. But when Ms. Hilal went over the podcast guidelines, I think I understand, but at the same time it's a little bit challenging

# data[].attributes.body
-Katrina
I noticed that when you are making a podcast, you are supposed to talk at a pace for the audience to understand. Also, I noticed that the speaker did not provoke or blame any type of group here.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I learned is that Hurricane Katrina had effects not only on the city itself but also brought light to the racial opinions to many of its citizens.

# data[].attributes.body
This podcast showed me that color people always have a challenge with racism here in the United States. The black community are always targeted which really isn't fair.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I learned from the perspective of another is that the people of New Orleans feel that the government was racist and they did not come and help sooner because the city is mostly black. They feel like if Katrina hit a rich white city the government would have been much faster to respond

# data[].attributes.body
I listened to The Sea Next Door and learned that the algae and lack of oxygen in the Salton Sea caused a lot of the fish living in it to die, which then caused the birds that eat them to also die from eating the sick fish or not eating at all.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that challenged a misconception of mine was that I did not know that Oakland had many diesel trucks. I thought that Oakland just had many old beater automobiles with gasoline engines.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt disappointed in the government for not giving help to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. At the same time, I am not too surprised since this is not new news.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't realize the amount of effort and time it takes to gather all this information from different types of people and how much courage it takes for people who are being interviewed to speak about their struggles. In my podcast living downstream some of the people who are being interviewed started to get emotional while talking about their lives.

# data[].attributes.body
[Katrina Podcast] One thing I have learned from a perspective of another, is that it makes me realize how income and race can tie into the way of how aftermaths are dealt with in cases of a natural disaster.

# data[].attributes.body
While taking a look and listening to the "What Katrina Taught Us About Race" it truly hurts me to know that some people had to go through there community and land flooded while others had there land cleaned up, while the news has died down about it by so much they will not get that much help.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that provoked my emotion from the podcast "Seeking Justice: On Repeat, In Every Language, Unceasingly" was how poor people were suffering at the hands of the government. Furthermore, different persons in various cities/towns were treated differently. Being judgmental based on the cover rather than truly understanding how an individual is.

# data[].attributes.body
one thing I learned from the perspective of another person is that even though they live in different areas they all face the same problems with the air quality.

# data[].attributes.body
People with asthma living in the West Port of Oakland area are at higher risk of hospitalization due to the toxic nature of the air produced.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned the hardships of the black community living in New Orleans and that those hard times forced them to become stronger people.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that from the perspective of some impacted people of New Orleans they have conspiracies of how how the Hurricane came about and how the dams feel regarding the government. Many of the victims have an intense distrust for the government because of the way Black citizens were treated before and especially after Hurricane Katrina.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that from the perspective of those who live in poverty, they don't have an advocate. They don't have the means of surviving through tough situations like this one.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I learned from this podcast called, "Health, Wealth, and Race in Today's Louisiana" from Downstream NPR is that within the streets of a predominantly black neighborhood in Louisiana, there are broken down housing, potholes, slanted porches, and kids in tattered clothes. However, from a five minute drive away there are streets with nice sushi restaurants, flower shops, and clubs. Poverty and crime gets high and results in an increase of more rates.

# data[].attributes.body
It's difficult to believe that it's diesel fuel that happens to be the most impactful air polluter in the country.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very hard to stay positive after a huge hurricane just hit you. Yes, the white community was also damaged but the media almost only showed help to them and not to the POC or black community. Picking and choosing, who is getting help.

# data[].attributes.body
- Katrina
When the white residents are asked about the Katrina, they said they did not want their previous racial demographics. This evoke an emotion of disappointment in me, because even in this century, people of color are faced with racial troubles.

# data[].attributes.body
While listing to living downstream I felt disappointed hearing about how black/colored people where being treated. An example was black people who were farmer they would get their land taken away by white people just out of nowhere. And they couldn't do anything about it.

# data[].attributes.body
It's frustrating how lower-income areas can be so much more affected by environmental impacts as opposed to richer neighborhoods. Even more so when I realize that it's intentional.

# data[].attributes.body
From what I've learned from the podcast is that there is a whole lot of work and research that comes with it.

# data[].attributes.body
Milpitas is nothing like Oakland at all in terms of income level, but they both share similar air quality issues. Living in a middle class income area means having to never deal with such an issue, and it's good to broaden my perspective with the experiences of others.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I discovered from a new perspective in the podcast "Seeking Justice: On Repeat, In Every Language, Unceasingly" was how various and what different circumstances there were in the economy. The podcast, on the other hand, was bashing on more foreigners, outsiders, and people of color. We anticipate that the government will be successful, trustworthy, and free of corruption.

# data[].attributes.body
It invoked anger in me that the state promised to manage and fix the receding water in the Salton Sea because it was causing a lot of problems for the people, but many decades have passed and still nothing has been done.

# data[].attributes.body
1 thing that evoked my emotion "What Katrina Taught Us About Race" was that so many people die from the hurricane and many houses are getting destroyed. The water left from the storm left little clean water to use, buildings completely destroyed, and the public. Many people were evacuated, it was a slow process and the poorest and most vulnerable were left behind.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel irritated towards the government for not doing a better job at helping New Orleans .

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that challenged a misconception of mine is that listening to these podcasts, the tone of voice can actually affect the way the podcast will be produced. It makes me wonder how well these speakers are able to keep a flowing conversation with no issues or complications.

# data[].attributes.body
After hearing about the experiences that many communities who may be seen as less of a priority to the country. I realized the weight of the situation, not only in the intial destruction to the area but the frustration the individuals must feel as they're essentially being undermined and left behind by a unsupportive country.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned from listening to living downstream how grateful I feel to be able to live in a community that isn't as segregated as the ones they are talking about. And I learned how hard it is for black/colored people to speak their mind without getting shut down immediately.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that evoked an emotion in me was when in Hurricane Katrina the people who lost their homes and everything did not have insurance or enough money to get their things replaced and they are just left there. I feel bad for those people because they have to work so hard to get everything back and live life like it's the 19th century.

# data[].attributes.body
-Katrina
This podcast clearly states how income, race, and neighborhood play a major role in peoples' life, and how they are judged by their race.

# data[].attributes.body
People are willing to take matters into their own hands and work to fix and issue in their community and risk their own health for the benefit of others when outside help that was promised has not been fulfilled.

# data[].attributes.body
I would have expected the country's leaders and first responders to be far more concerned and act in a much more urgent and effective manner regardless of the individuals and communities that are being effected as the country should be one of equality and unification between all individuals.

# data[].attributes.body
One I learned from the perspective in the podcast "What Katrina Taught Us About Race" was that we know with certainty that there will be tragedies in our future. Hurricane Katrina does not excuse our inadequate preparedness and response, but rather it must serve as a catalyst for far reaching reform and transformation.

# data[].attributes.body
I realized that when making a podcast, a lot of work and effort has to go into a podcast. You have to have credible research and talk in a way that your audience understands your topic well.

# data[].attributes.body
An emotion that evoked within me was how shocking it was to hear that according to these other speakers, their experience with owning land because of the disappearance or vanishing of leases. It’s like they worked so hard to try and gain as much acres of land that they could only for the lease to be fewer than what they can pay for.

# data[].attributes.body
An emotion that came up from me was anger because of how the US government responded in far less time than it could have to deal with the aftermath of Katrina.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I learned from the perspective of another was how difficult  it was for agriculture to maintain. From this podcast, I heard that some owners actually got their land stolen or was never paid back for the land they had.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that the far majority of people in the most effected areas were taken care of less than those who were in far less effected areas almost purely due to the collective income and race in each respective area.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that I learned from the perspective of another is the type of problems and life that they live with many issues. The people who were in the hurricane have to work so hard to get everything back and it is very difficult for them. I can understand how difficult it is by imagining myself in their shoes.

# data[].attributes.body
Listening to the katrina podcast made me feel sorrow for the people that had to face very difficult situations without getting the proper help they needed

# data[].attributes.body
1 thing I've learned from the perspective of another community was how they're targeted more often and aren't getting the help they need in time or at all, which is just infuriating.

# data[].attributes.body
The process of making a podcast now seems slightly more complicated than what I had originally thought.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned a few things about the perspectives from people living in New Orleans, such as how they weren't seen as important from the government.
