Voice In

Voice In: A project of the Digital Media and Innovation Lab

This podcast is about Mizzou students.  It is a showcase project* of the Digital Media and Innovation Lab in Ellis Library.  It was created to learn about students' lives and their relationship to libraries.  The hosts seek to understand where students come from, what motivates them, what brought them here to the university and, of course, their relationship with all things libraries.  In this podcast we’re interested in hearing students' stories, and their voices.

* Showcase projects: projects to explore and highlight how resources in the lab can be used.

Episode 3- Music in the Booth

In this episode, we chat with, Lydia France, and we have Gabby Daugherty as an additional guest co-host.
Lydia describes herself as a model, a photographer, and a musician in her Instagram profile

In this episode, however, we invited Lydia to talk to us about her music. Particularly, Lydia has been working on a music project in the Sound Booth in the Digital Media and Innovation Lab in Ellis Library.  … And that’s how we got to know about her work.  We loved what we heard and wanted to lean more about her and her songs. We play samples of her songs during our conversation. I think you will like it too. You can listen to a sample of her music on her Instagram page and view her other projects there as well.

Our best to Lydia France!

Since this podcast's debut, Lydia has officially gone pro! Her music is now available on Spotify. She has 10 whole singles out and more to come! Go support this Mizzou student as she prepares to make it big!

Episode 2- Poets Galore

In this episode, we bring in student voices in a slightly different way.  We read short poems and Haikus students wrote as part of the library's Scavenger Hunt activity.  Taira Meadowcroft, Information Services Librarian at the Health Sciences Library, joins us to read and react to the poems. We also talk to Taira about her and the work of the Student Advisory Council for the University Libraries that she is the liaison to. And of course, we take turns pulling poems out of a hat.
