Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Tyler Junior College Entry Title: Wrestling Podcast Alliance Entry Credit: Paris McGinnis Judge Comment: Great intro with inviting music and upbeat conversation. Hosts had strong command of the subject matter and the episode flowed well. Audio quality was consistent throughout. Excellent job!
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: A&M-San Antonio - El Espejo Entry Title: Spooky Stories Entry Credit: Thalia Guzman, Elizabeth Lopez, Miranda Rodriguez, Serenity Hernandez Bogert Judge Comment: Great script and set up but there was a real missed opportunity to use creepy music to set the scene here!
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Tyler Junior College Entry Title: Hagborn Entry Credit: Garrett Snyder Judge Comment: Loved the narrator’s voice and delivery. It was very natural and professional. However, the intro was a bit jarring and unclear. Also, the voice distortion used did not make sense to me. Audio effects were all over the place and I could not follow the story. I think it would be helpful to give each clip an extra beat to breathe so they didn’t step on each other.
Place Name: Honorable Mention Contestant Name: A&M-San Antonio - El Espejo Entry Title: A Cancer Survivor’s Guide to Making it in Show Business Entry Credit: Miranda Rodriguez, Thalia Guzman, Elizabeth Lopez, Serenity Hernandez Bogert Judge Comment: Good energy and affable conversation between hosts. However, for a 10-min clip, there was no editing and the whole thing amounted to intros and check-ins.
Competition Comment: This was an interesting selection of shows on varied topics.
