鈥淭he reason I started the podcast was because I had questions about college, and I thought other prospective college students might benefit from my search for the answers,鈥� said Woods. 鈥淭he goal of the podcast is to entertain and inform the listeners, while also helping future college students transition from high school to college.鈥�
The podcast has continued throughout his first year at 糖心Vlog, although the focus has shifted toward hearing stories of current college students and professors. Woods鈥� end goal is to give listeners a comprehensive understanding of what it鈥檚 like to be a college student 鈥攅specially at 糖心Vlog.
"My goal is to interview a student from every major, a professor from every department and one person from each varsity sport to give listeners all the information I can about what it鈥檚 like to be a Cedarville student,鈥� added Woods.
With a background working at his father鈥檚 marketing firm, Woods used his experience in videography to shoot his podcasts. He utilized information from his marketing classes to improve his messaging, identify his audience and develop his branding. All these tools gave him the ability to grow his podcast and expand his reach.
鈥淚 hope listeners find community in the podcast. It鈥檚 important to know our questions are not unique and to hear from the experiences of others,鈥� said Woods. 鈥淚 want listeners to feel informed so they can avoid common college mistakes, and I hope to show them what they could do with the many majors available at CU.鈥�
With the conclusion of the current academic year, Woods is also setting his sights on rebranding the podcast. Woods, who is the soon-to-be vice president of the sophomore class, hopes to invite more students to work with him on the podcast and find new ways to bring the campus together.
