For podcast I decided to profile the community of cab drivers in New York City. My multi-media project is on immigrant community living in New York and the fact that 99% of cab drivers are foreign-born makes them directly relevant to my multi-media project.
To make it topical and newsy, I tried to find out the impact of economic recession on the community.I have already interviewed a very articulate campaign-head of the New York City Cab Driver Union who has himself been a cab driver for more three-decades. He knows the profession inside-out.
Got interesting details and by Tuesday, I propose to put on air my third-video and podcast assignment.
