PODCAST
The Warm Up
Hillary produced, wrote, hosted, and edited a 10-minute pilot episode of The Warm Up, a unique sports education podcast.
The Warm Up is the Internet’s first introductory sports education podcast! Whether you have never watched a soccer game in your life, want to be able to follow along on the next Olympics, or you like hockey but aren’t sure of the difference between a penalty and casual violence, this podcast will help you build your sports knowledge muscles and bring out your inner superfan. Hosted by sports junkie, Hillary Thornton, The Warm Up provides a crash course in the rules of individual sports, breaks down strategies, and outlines historical events and scandals. So grab a towel and get up off the bench – it’s time to get warmed up!
Hillary then conducted a focus group, in which participants listened to the pilot episode and provided feedback. Hillary wrote a focus group report and then created episode one of The Warm Up with their feedback in mind.
