Podcast Newbie

For my social media class I have to create two podcasts that are around three minutes long. I am trying to brainstorm different ideas for topics. I am thinking along the lines of a short NPR's This American Life podcast. This American Life is self described as:

"The radio and TV shows follow the same format. There's a theme to each episode,
and a variety of stories on that theme. It's mostly true stories of everyday
people, though not always. There's lots more to the show, but, like we said,
it's sort of hard to describe."

Actually, it sort of reminds me of Lizzie's blog, "Five Questions for Everyday People."

In one of my favorite This American Life episodes, they went to a jail that was performing a version of Hamlet. They interviewed the actors who played a murderer in Hamlet and who were convicted of the same crime, and then delved into how this situation shaped the role like no other playhouse had.

While I obviously cannot make a podcast this in depth or sophisticated, I am trying to think of a theme to tackle from different angles. If you have any great ideas please let me know! Otherwise stay tuned for my very first podcasts.
