The Brain Freeze: Deja Vu

This podcast focuses on what Deja Vu is. It was created by Laura, Ben, and me. The podcast tries to give both an everyday definition of Deja Vu and a more sophisticated definition by professionals. It was very fun recording this podcast, but I believe that the revisions and editing of the podcast was the best part. I enjoyed mixing different sounds to make it sound as great as possible.

Script:

music introduction

Breaking News! A stress outbreak has  been reported in the City of Berkeley, CA. A high concentration of this epidemic is located within the SMASH community. Experts believe this to be caused by overloads of homework, lack of sleep and poor meal quality. However if this condition isn’t treated immediately, it evolves to stage 2, the lash-out/reaction phase. All cases of scholars who have graduated to phase 2  must be reported to the nearest hospital. One scholar, Kelechi Okereke, has decided to get a professional opinion.

Patient:Um Dr. Phelps, I’m really scared, I I I think I have the stress syndrome, what are the symptoms?

Doctor: Okay, I’ll ask you a few questions and if they apply to you answer with a brief explanation

Do you have an increased inability to concentrate

Patient: Yes! I never can pay attention in class!

Dr: Do you often have sudden mood swings or any rapid changes in emotions without trigger.

Patient: What are you accusing me of, No! why would you think that!? Do you think I’m mean. *sob sob*

Dr: Okay… next question. Any aches and pains?

Patient: Well, yea actually my neck and back hurts all the time especially after walking up and down the endless steep UC Berkeley hills.

Dr: Final question. Have your eating or sleeping patterns changed?

Patient: Definitely. The food at the Foothill dorms is horrible. As a result, I skip meals and all the homework piles up so I never can get enough sleep staying up to complete it.

Dr: I’m going to run a few test… Judging from your replies, you definitely are over stressed. You meet all the criteria we see in patients. There is no cure for the stress syndrome, however, there are different types of treatment to reduce stress. Also, not all stress is bad for you, in fact, a little stress helps you perform better. Luckily we caught this early before phase 2 because we took in a lot of patients whose cases of phase 2 stress were irreversible. I’ll be back with your prescription
