It's Monday, January 1st, 2024. Happy New Year! – and welcome to the January edition of Hills Review -- the High School East Student Podcast. Have you ever wondered what it takes to run a successful blog? On Tuesday, Nicole Vezzi talks to two bloggers – one focused on sports and the other on fashion – about the skills and strategies required to build a successful online presence. Many kids feel like they have to go to a good college in order to make themselves and the people around them proud. On Wednesday, Eden Banks looks at how this pressure can affect kids in a negative way–and discusses ways to fix this problem. This month's book talk takes place on Thursday, with Naomi Myers and Zaccai Wright discussing the thought provoking non-fiction book: Whistling Vivaldi. This book details social psychologist Claude Steele's research and groundbreaking findings on stereotypes and identity. The economic downturn of 2008 devastated Americans at a level not seen since the Great Depression. On Friday, Ryan Parkes looks at past and present economic signs that can help people prepare for any recession that might occur. Hills Review is produced by members of the Podcasting and Filmmaking Club. If you are interested in becoming a contributor, see Mr. Beatty in room 216.
