Well I haven’t watched sp all the way through for about a decade now, so I thought it was time

Sometimes I wonder how accurate the fandom is when it comes to how we interpret the characters. Like, why is Stan a football star so often in fanfic and why’s Kyle always the smart one? So I thought I’d rewatch the show and make notes along the way to see where the source of all these interpretations is. I also wanted to see if I could get some fun info to analyze, but season 1 is pretty sparse in that regard so there’s not too much of that in this post, but I’ll make a post for all the other seasons too as I watch them

In summary, it’s established in season 1 already that Stan’s a star quarterback and an animal lover, Kyle’s an A+ student, and Kenny is poor and knows a lot about sex and doesn’t have many qualms about doing crazy shit. Cartman is a bit weird since he’s mostly just a naive brat in this season, but he and Kyle have a mildly antagonistic friendship already

I have all my notes under this cut. They include a bunch of small details and other observations. I also listed every Kenny death just because

Ike has freckles

Cartman says “Weak!” and “You guys” and “Seriously” a lot from the start, also “Kickass!” He doesn’t say weak or kickass much in the later seasons iirc

Stan says “Dude, this is pretty fucked up right here” three times in this season but they dropped that catchphrase pretty quickly

Bebe got named in episode 2

Stan’s been an animal lover since s01e03 Volcano since he won’t shoot a bunny or anything else. He does shoot Scuzzlebutt at the end though

Cartman’s a pathological liar but in a childish way

Randy got named in s01e03 Volcano (and it only got worse from there)

The mayor went to Princeton

South Park is next to Mt. Evanson

Kenny will literally drink gasoline

Stan’s a star quarterback in 3rd grade

Clyde’s voice is wrong as hell in S01E04 Big Gay Al’s Big Gay Boat Ride and he has a dog, Rex

Garrison says Kyle is an A+ kid

Shelly seriously abuses Stan, punching him, throwing him, maiming him with a lawnmower

Cartman had a pot-bellied pig called Fluffy

Cartman’s mom smokes crack and has sex with strange men

Dr. Mephesto is probably a Buddhist since he says “Thank Buddha” instead of “Thank God”

Clyde’s voice gets kind of fixed in S01E06

A guy called Mr. McCormick is killed in a protest, launched and splattered against a network building. He doesn’t look like Kenny’s dad though

Zombie Clyde attacks Bebe, rude

Wendy gave her costume contest prize (2 tons of candy) to hungry children in Nairobi

Cartman’s mom is on the cover of Crack Whore magazine. “Back do’ ho… Five on one action!” is the headline

Cartman genuinely cries at Kenny’s grave after the whole zombie thing but gets over it because of candy

Stan knows his mom’s credit card number and has no problem using it to adopt an Ethiopian child (the boys wanted a watch that came with the adoption, they weren’t doing it to be nice)

Cartman calls Stan a vas deference, Stan doesn’t know what that is so Kenny says “Dude, it’s a pipe for your peepee” (according to a transcript). Kenny sure knows male anatomy

Kyle sniffs Kenny after Cartman asks why poor people smell like sour milk and Garrison says “idk eric they just do”

Cartman thinks poor people should die and decrease the surplus population

When the boys get Starvin’ Marvin delivered to them, Cartman says “Hey mom, we found an Ethiopian, can we keep him?” and his mom says “Sure, hun.” She rarely says no to Cartman

Kenny’s dad is an alcoholic who drinks scotch according to Cartman. I mean, Mr. McCormick is seen drinking in multiple episodes and has a hat that says SCOTCH so it’s probably true

Kenny’s family says grace

Craig’s first appearance is S01E09. Also, S01E09 is the first time Kenny doesn’t die (Coincidence? I THINK yeah but it’s still fun)

Clyde got named in S01E10

Clyde and Bebe both spit on Pip’s face, friendship goals <3

Cartman and Kyle have their first fight at Cartman’s birthday party because Kyle didn’t give the right gift. Cartman slaps his face and  screams “I hate you! I want you to die! Die!” while on top of Kyle who’s not really fighting back

Satan throws a fight with Jesus after everyone except Satan bet that Jesus would lose, which leads to Satan winning everyone’s money. Mr. Garrison says “What a mean thing to do!” and Jimbo says “He is a jerk!” and I thought it was quite a laugh so I wrote it down

In S01E11 Tom’s Rhinoplasty Bebe and Wendy are sitting in the swings together and generally appear together throughout the episode, then Bebe gives Wendy a makeover so they’re bffs obviously <3

Craig first appears in the classroom, though not sitting down, in S01E11

Wendy’s not happy about Ms. Ellen taking Stan away from her, she says “Don’t fuck with me! Stay away from my man, bitch, or I’ll whoop your sorry ho ass back to last year!”

Kenny gives Ms. Ellen a scrumptious looking sausage as a valentine’s gift and giggles deviously. Wendy’s gift to Ms. Ellen is a dead animal

Even Kenny doesn’t know what a lesbian is

Wendy’s grandma died in S01E11

Wendy gets Ms. Ellen killed by hiring the Iraqi government (?) to put her in a rocket and shoot it into the sun, then she and Bebe have a pool party (very cool, they wear sunglasses 😎) and watch the rocket hit the sun

Cartman and Pip play a game of kicking each other in the nuts until someone falls. Cartman calls it “Roshambo”

Kenny has a sack of marbles

The boys aren’t fans of Barbra Streisand, but Stan is a fan of the Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway (he’s not a quarterback anymore, he’s an American football executive and the president of football operations for the Denver Broncos of the NFL according to wikipedia.)

Officer Barbrady is a fan of Fiona Apple (who was 20 at the time and had only one album released called Tidal)

Ned knows how to pilot a helicopter

Kyle’s mom is a fan of Streisand unlike literally everyone else, she even gets an autograph from Mecha Streisand

The boys are fans of Robert Smith, the lead singer of The Cure. Stan says “Robert Smith is the greatest person that ever lived!” and Kyle says “Disintegration is the best album ever!” and Cartman says “Robert Smith kicks ass!” and Kenny’s dead so he doesn’t get to have an opinion

Cartman has tea parties with his toys: Polly Prissypants, Clyde frog, Peter Panda, and a dragon called Rumpertumskin

Kyle wants to make fun of Cartman for the tea party but Stan stops him because he’s concerned that Cartman needs help

Craig is in front of the school counselor’s office in S01E13

A young miss Cartman drinks like a motherfucker at the 12th annual drunken barn dance where Cartman was supposedly conceived

Stan lets Cartman borrow his bike like a good friend

Garrison wanted to have a threesome with Chef and Cartman’s mom. I don’t know why I’m making a note of this but uh… yeah.

Cartman’s mom has had sex with everyone at this bar that Garrison’s drinking at, including principle Victoria, the mayor, Father Maxi, and Jesus (and maybe Kenny’s dad since he’s at the bar but the camera doesn’t pan to him when Garrison says they’ve all slept with Liane). Later Gerald Broflovski is a possible father to Eric, so he fucked her too. Also Mr. Mephesto and his friend Kevin, that little guy, are candidates along with a lot of other people, including the 1989 Denver Broncos (and Mr. Tenorman is included in that later)

Cartman doesn’t make fun of Kyle for being Jewish much at all in this season even though the Christmas episode is all about Kyle not celebrating

Clyde and Token appear very early on and Clyde has always been in the classroom (along with Bebe, Red, Kevin Stoley, Wendy, and Pip and uhh DogPoo too I think). Craig appears later in the season and Tweek’s not in season 1 at all, so Craig’s gang isn’t really a thing yet

And here’s a list of the ways Kenny died in this season. He dies in every episode except episode 9, and he dies twice in episodes 2 and 3. Altogether he dies 14 times

S01E01 Killed after alien shoots him, cows stampede over him, then cop runs him over which finally actually kills him

S01E02 Killed in a play by a falling teepee, then a second time shot by Garrison which sends him in the air and he gets impaled on a flagpole on the way down

S01E03 Killed by a volcano rock that burns him then rolls on him but he’s alive again in the end but gets shot by Ned’s gun that he drops and it accidentally goes off

S01E04 Gets his arms and head torn off in an American football game

S01E05 Stan’s clone punches Kenny into a microwave where he gets cooked alive

S01E06 Death touches Kenny

S01E07 Kenny gets crushed by a Russian space station and turns into a zombie because he gets Worcestershire sauce in his veins, then Kyle chainsaws zombie Kenny in half, then zombie Kenny rises from his grave and is crushed by a statue and a plane

S01E08 Kenny is killed by a bunch of turkeys. His eye gets plucked out. It’s dark blue

S01E10 After Kenny gets turned into a duck-billed platypus, Jimbo and Ned shoot him

S01E11 Ms. Ellen throws a sword through Kenny’s face

S01E12 While Mecha Streisand and a giant robot Leonard Maltin fight, Kenny plays with a tetherball and gets the rope wrapped around his neck and it strangles him

S01E13 Kenny gets stuck on a go kart and it drags him around but stops and he’s still alive! Too bad the go kart stops on train tracks and a train runs him over. Stan’s grandpa sends a video of the event to America’s Stupidest Home Videos and wins $10,000

If you read all that, first of all hello. I’m not new to the fandom even though this is the first thing I’ve posted on this tumblr blog. I’ve been writing a fanfic called Caffetamine though so I’m not a complete non-entity. Anyway, I’ll watch season 2 soon and post my notes on that too probably.

History of Winning the Lottery

Winning the lottery has a long and old history. "Lottery" comes from the Italian "lotto", which proposes predetermination or destiny.

Old Lotteries

Lotteries have an old, respected and genuinely checkered history. There are obvious scriptural references to the pulling in of packs to give ownership and in the Book of Numbers, Chapter 26, Moses uses a lottery to allow land west of the River Jordan. In the New Testament, Roman specialists pulled in parts to close who may get Jesus' cover after the disgusting butchering.

In 100 BC, the Hun Dynasty in China made the lottery game known as Keno. A gigantic part of the sponsorships raised were used to back the headway of the Great Wall, orchestrated as a breaking point security. Winning the lottery was less epic than ensuring the country.

Beginning of Modern Lotteries

The from the start recorded European lottery was held in 1446 by the widow of the Flemish painter Jan Van Eyck to dispose of his overabundance show-stoppers. Winning this lottery would have given you a prize worth uber millions today!

Reference book Britannica states that the lottery considering everything follows obviously back to fifteenth century France where it was used by particular towns to raise maintain for reviving the town's shields (Europe has a strong custom of tenants trusting in themselves to have a spot with a city as opposed to a state or even a nation, for example, an occupant would trust oneself to be a Roman, rather than an Italian.) King Francis I of France allowed lotteries to work from 1520, and the focal discerning lottery to offer money as a prize was La Lotto de Firenze, run by the city of Florence in 1530. Obvious metropolitan relationship in Italy before long went with a near show.

In 1567, Queen Elizabeth I set up the central English state lottery, with prizes including cash, gold and silver plate, and weavings. 400,000 tickets were offered open to be bought. For quite a while, how to win the lottery was an arrangements generally speaking of the tenants' lips.

In 1612, King James I of England made a lottery in London by great introduction. The advantages helped with financing the major British domain in America at Jamestown, Virginia. Anglican spots of charm held two of the three winning tickets in the crucial draw!

Winning the Lottery: The First National Lottery

In the middle eighteenth century, a dazzling event occurred in France. Considering the potential for fixing the results in unassumingly worked lotteries, Giacomo Girolamo Casanova (1725 - 1798) persuaded Louis XV of France to build up the standard state-had restricting improvement lottery, the Loterie Royale of the Military School, which changed into the harbinger of the Loterie Nationale. Any wealth lotteries in France were denied. The lottery was a Keno style game, where players could pick 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 numbers some spot in the degree of 1 and 90. (By some chance, Casanova approved a premium in the new lottery and got well off as requirements be, as of now sold his top notch rapidly some time later and lost the advantages through surged endeavors; sounds really like some wide lottery victors, doesn't it?)

Foundation of American Lotteries

In the eighteenth century, lotteries were well under course in America, from a general viewpoint to back some undertaking or as an exit from responsibility. The from the beginning began in Massachusetts in 1744 contemplating military responsibilities. The desperate public lottery was started by the Continental Congress in 1776 to raise resources for the American Revolution. The Founding Fathers were concerned less with how to win the lottery now with how to raise underpins using lotteries. A huge number of the Founding Fathers played and dealt with lotteries:

Benjamin Franklin used lotteries to help weapons for the Revolutionary War.

George Washington financed advancement of the Mountain Road, which opened expansion West of Virginia, by working a lottery.

Thomas Jefferson, who was $80,000 in the red around the satisfaction of his life, used a lottery to dispose of by a wide edge an immense piece of his property. Winning this lottery would have given you a basic piece of American heritage!

John Hancock worked a lottery to back the re-try of focal Faneuil Hall in Boston.

In addition, public several American schools, including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, Brown and Dartmouth. Winning these lotteries was a gigantic obligation to the unavoidable destiny of American preparing.

6. Brood met kaas

april 2020

Mijn moeder heeft me net een kopje muntthee op mijn kamer gebracht. Ze heeft me al drie keer gevraagd om de vaatwasser uit te ruimen en ik heb al drie keer geantwoord dat ik dat zo ga doen. Volgens mij kookt mijn vader pasta vanavond. Ik ben weer terug in mijn tijd van het puber-zijn, wonend met twee ouders in één huis. Met het verschil dat we nu geen van allen naar school of werk gaan maar alle drie elke dag de hele dag thuis zijn. En zonder enig zicht op hoe lang nog.

In februari kwam ik naar Nederland vanwege het overlijden van mijn oma, maar toen ik weer terug wilde vliegen gooide China de grenzen op slot, dus daar kan ik voorlopig niet meer heen. Mijn studie Intercultural Communication aan de Shanghai Theatre Academy gaat online verder. Voor sommige vakken werkt dat beter dan andere. Het is best een uitdaging om de exacte vingertechniek van het waaierdraaien uit de traditionele Chinese dans onder de knie te krijgen als het scherm en dus ook de docent steeds vastloopt op het cruciale punt van het in de lucht werpen van de waaier. De Tai Chi docent die het steeds heeft over opgaan in je omgeving, verdwijnt opeens echt in zijn green screen achtergrond op Zoom. En door het tijdsverschil zit ik regelmatig om half 7 ’s ochtends al te luisteren naar intense aria’s tijdens de Chinese opera les. Bovendien geeft mijn moeder online Nederlandse les aan anderstalige kinderen in de kamer naast mij, dus dan zit ik net in een online discussie over oriëntalisme in het modernistische theater, hoor ik weer door de muur ‘EDWIN EET BROOD MET KAAS. NEE MET KAAS. KAAS. K-A-A-S. JA HEEL GOED AWAD!’ 

Soms overvalt de heimwee me. Ik mis het daar zijn, de aanwezigheid in een klas, met echte mensen. In onze Zoom lessen ben ik me voortdurend bewust van die opsplitsing van aanwezigheden. Ik ben aanwezig aan mijn tafel in mijn kamer in mijn ouders huis in Nederland. Een echte, fysieke aanwezigheid. Ik ben ook aanwezig in de online Zoom les. Voor mij zijn dit verschillende werelden. In Zoom kunnen mijn klasgenoten alleen mijn digitale aanwezigheid zien. Ze kunnen slechts enkele aspecten van mijn andere aanwezigheid zien, de muur achter me, misschien de stoel waarop ik zit. En andersom ook, ik ga fantaseren over hun fysieke aanwezigheid, hoe de kamer eruit ziet waar ze zitten, afgeleid van de poster op de muur of de kast in de hoek. Maar dichterbij dan dat kom ik niet. Ik vraag me af hoe deze twee aanwezigheden, realiteiten, werelden, ruimtes zich tot elkaar verhouden. Hoe beïnvloeden ze elkaar, met mijzelf als enige verbindende factor. In contact zijn terwijl je opgesplitst bent. Ik mis de fysieke ontmoeting. En het voelt raar om theater te studeren zonder dat fysieke. Het confronteert me met hoe lijfelijk theater eigenlijk is. Niet alleen de directe aanraking, maar het fysieke aanwezig zijn met elkaar, ergens, samen, acteurs en publiek en de spannende uitwisseling ertussen. Een zinderende echtheid.

portraits of my Zoom classmates

Ondanks al het onverwachte dat is gebeurd, ben ik toch alweer bijna 8 maanden aan het studeren. Ik dacht dat het misschien tijd werd om eens te reflecteren op hoe het gaat.

Ik begon deze studie in Shanghai na 4 jaar ArtEZ en 1 jaar in het werkveld, vooral als theaterdocent. Nu doe ik een academische masterstudie, en ondanks enkele praktische vakken ligt de nadruk op, ja hoe noem ik dat, academische, kritische, discussie onderzoeksvakken. Waarvoor ik artikelen moet lezen in wetenschappelijk Engels (wat een heel andere taal is dan het spreektaal Engels, kwam ik al snel achter) en we die vervolgens bespreken in de les. Een presentatie over een in de les behandeld onderwerp behoort vaak tot de opdrachten, net als een afsluitend kritisch essay. En ik dacht dus ‘leuk, schrijven!’, maar een kritisch essay schrijven betekent eigenlijk informatie uit andere bronnen quoten of parafraseren en in een vastgestelde volgorde onder elkaar zetten. En dan ook nog in het wetenschappelijk Engels. Vreselijk vond ik het de eerste keren. Ik verloor mezelf de hele tijd in te poëtische zinnen en filosofische alinea’s waar ik best tevreden over was, maar die volgens de docent weliswaar mooi geschreven, maar totaal overbodig waren en niets toevoegden aan het punt dat ik wilde maken. Dat punt (of ‘the argument’, zoals we dat moeten noemen) veranderde sowieso de hele tijd in mijn hoofd, gewend als ik ben aan de eeuwige nuance en alles bekijken vanuit verschillende perspectieven. Maar goed, ik ben dus gaan inzien dat ik het moet zien als een soort spel, waarbij je binnen zeer vastgestelde kaders gewoon punten moet afvinken. En af en toe een poëtisch zinnetje kan best.

Behalve dit wetenschappelijke schrijven had ik ook moeite met het onder woorden brengen van wat ik bedoelde in klassen discussies. Met klasgenoten of collega’s in Nederland bevond ik me in dezelfde context, we waren bekend met hetzelfde theateraanbod en dezelfde theatertermen. Er was ook over het algemeen gesproken een zelfde smaak of idee over wat goed en artistiek was. Maar in Shanghai was die gemeenschappelijke context totaal verdwenen. We zaten in een Chinese context, met een groep van over de hele wereld, met elk hun eigen achtergrond, cultureel en professioneel. Ik vond het opeens weer heel moeilijk om het over theater te hebben. Zonder gemeenschappelijke termen of inzichten werd ik gedwongen om weer terug te gaan naar de basis. Als er niks meer vastligt, wat betekent theater dan echt voor mij? Wat vind ik goed? En hoe praat ik daarover? Hoe geef ik eigenlijk woorden aan het soms zo woordeloze karakter van theater? Hoe geef ik woorden aan het gevoel dat het me geeft? 

Als er woorden aan werden gegeven, vond ik het vaak plat, of theoretisch gezever, nooit rakend aan de essentie. En ik was in het begin vooral bezig met anderen, klasgenoten met hun soms indrukwekkende achtergronden en grote wetenschappelijke kennis. Ook de docenten hadden het steeds over universiteiten als Princeton, Oxford, Yale. Wat kwam ik hier in godsnaam doen? Maar ik kan me nog herinneren dat ik op een bankje op de campus zat en opeens het inzicht kwam: Maar ik heb dit al 4 jaar gestudeerd! Ik heb 4 jaar lang op ArtEZ geleerd over theater en gefocust op persoonlijke visie, op wie ik ben, wat ik doe, waar ik voor sta. Gek hoe je soms kan vergeten wat er allemaal in je zit. Vanaf toen kwam de vrijheid om niet alleen te delen vanuit mezelf, maar ook door klasgenoten geïnspireerd in plaats van geïmponeerd te worden.

Ik ben het wel gaan waarderen, die wetenschappelijke benadering. Het dwingt je om heel nauwkeurig verschijnselen te analyseren en te duiden. Je leert om zuiver te kijken, en duidelijk te formuleren wat je wil zeggen. Je gedachten ordenen zeg maar. Ik ben blij met wat ik nu allemaal leer en zie het wel voor me in de toekomst, een combi tussen wetenschappelijk en artistiek. Maar wel ook maken, alsjeblieft. Want voor mij is niet alles te duiden. Ik wil soms gewoon even niet beargumenteren, bronnen quoten, wetenschappelijke onderzoeken lezen, ik wil vaak gewoon voelen en gevoeld worden. Voor mij gaat theater zo vaak om gevoel, energie, stroom, of weet ik hoe ik het moet noemen, het is woordeloos. Ik mis het, dat ‘vuur’, die plek waar het gebeurt. Er middenin staan, en dan niet weten wat er gaat gebeuren, en dan heel onzeker zijn maar ook heel erg blij.

Als ik nu terugkijk naar de afgelopen maanden, dan zijn de gelukkigste herinneringen de momenten van ‘samen’ geweest. Met de klas naar de opening van een tentoonstelling in een galerie en elkaar nog niet zo goed kennen en een beetje dronken worden van de gratis wijntjes op de rooftopbar. Met een groepje naar een dragqueenshow en na afloop geen taxi kunnen vinden dus samen naar huis lopen, door een donker Shanghai, super verliefd op alles en iedereen. Een Thanksgivingfeest organiseren en een enorme kalkoen kopen en die samen helemaal opeten. Mensen samenbrengen, voor mij is dat wat betekenis geeft. Dat is waar ik heel erg gelukkig van wordt. Dat is voor mij ook het belangrijkste aspect van theater, die focus op het samenzijn, de uitwisseling tussen mensen. En wat er dan ontstaat, in proces en op de vloer. Hoe verbindend dat werkt, ongeacht in welke culturele context. Ik kijk er enorm naar uit om weer theater te maken.

Maar voor nu studeer ik 3 uur per dag Chinees, volg ik mijn online Zoom lessen, lees ik de wetenschappelijke artikelen, schrijf ik mijn kritische essays over de invloed van technologie op de fysieke theatervorm, over de invloed van westers realisme op de traditionele Chinese opera, over de plek van het persoonlijke verhaal in hedendaags Chinees theater, over bewustzijn van de westerse houding tegenover de ‘Ander’, en ben ik thuis met mijn ouders. Soms voelt het nog als puber-zijn, maar steeds vaker voelt het als drie volwassenen die samenleven en het eigenlijk heel goed hebben met elkaar. Oja, ik ben meer aan het schrijven opeens. Gewoon flarden, zonder doel. Vooral in het Engels, weet niet waarom. Het maakt me blij. En ook al heb ik inmiddels wel geleerd dat vooruit plannen geen enkele zin heeft, toch droom ik stiekem van nog een paar maanden Shanghai, misschien volgend schooljaar...

Professor Richard Cytowic: interview about Synesthesia with SynPod Podcast. from Alexander Sobko on Vimeo.

In SynPod Podcast interview, Dr. Richard Cytowic explains how he first stumbled across the rare condition called Synesthesia and explains how the science (and understanding of the science) has changed since he started over 40 years ago. Get ready for what might be the most critical conversation for understanding the history of the science behind synesthesia.

About Professor Richard Cytowic:

Richard E. Cytowic is an American neurologist and author who contributed greatly to synesthesia research and returned it to mainstream science. Cytowic’s writing ranges from textbooks and music reviews, to essays and medical biographies. Cytowic was born on December 16, 1952 in Trenton, New Jersey, US to a physician father and artist mother, and grew up with an extended family of scientists and artists. He attended Hun School of Princeton, graduated cum laude from Duke University, and received his M.D. from Wake Forest's Bowman Gray School of Medicine. He studied further at London's Queen Square (Institute of Neurology), and George Washington University Medical Center before founding a private clinic, Capitol Neurology. He also holds a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing from American University. Retired from clinical practice, Cytowic now mentors medical students at George Washington, writes academic and popular nonfiction, and lectures at museums and cultural institutions worldwide (Source: Wikipedia).

About “SynPod”, The Podcast about Synesthesia: (thesynpod.com):

“…Synesthesia. The music you listen to, art you hang on your wall—even the food you eat has been influenced by synesthesia. It has been touched or created by people who listen to a cello and see cobalt blue, picture the number two as a precocious young boy, or envision the year as having a specific shape. Synesthesia is all around us—in Disney movies, in Pulitzer-prize winning literature, in the development of new technologies, and more. But synesthesia can also be deeply personal: something that colors (literally) your day, your work, and the music you like. Many people have synesthesia without even realizing it. They know their distaste for the number 9, their affinity for Saturdays, and their rose gold nature seem odd to their friends. But these are integral aspects of synesthetes’ character and mind, attributes that are at once unique and shared by millions of other people around the world. So how does synesthesia work? How does it impact the way we think, work, and create? Why do some people have synesthesia, while others do not? In this podcast, Gracy and Christine unpack synesthesia, sharing both its challenges and its joys. They interview people who have leveraged their synesthesia to build remarkable and successful careers, and consider the various ways synesthesia influences our world. By making these connections, they help foster a community of people who experience the world in creative, unexpected ways. SynPod provides a platform for people with synesthesia to connect with each other and with their particular strengths—but the podcast is not just for people who have synesthesia. It’s for people who like to imagine in out-of-the-box ways, and who enjoy the wonder and mystery of the human brain. Perhaps you have always wondered why you connect sound with color. Perhaps you have a spouse with misophonia and you just don't get why your chewing drives them insane. Regardless, there is something for you in this podcast. Dive deep into a world that often feels isolating, and discover all the things that draw us together…” (Source: SynPod).

The Problem-Based Learning: An Overview to the Teaching-Learning Process

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is an exploratory and inquiry-based approach to education. As a future social studies teacher, it is crucial to shift from mere discussions to actively involving students in the learning process through the art of questioning. This method encourages students to be more engaged and participative, much like the investigative processes used by scientists.

The significance of PBL lies in the process itself, emphasizing the pursuit of understanding and resolving specific problems. Students have the opportunity to explore and learn at their own pace, gaining a sense of discovery through experience. PBL addresses relevant issues, such as Basic Community Action Planning. For example, if students choose a topic like teenage pregnancy, a local contemporary issue, the teacher helps generate questions, provides resources, and facilitates opportunities to develop solutions. This approach allows students not only to propose actionable recommendations but also to learn in a highly authentic manner.

PBL helps students become independent and responsible citizens who know how to contribute to society. It develops critical skills such as problem-solving and critical thinking. A key feature of PBL is its transdisciplinary nature. According to experts, PBL encompasses five salient features: Driving Question or Problem: This feature emphasizes real-life situations that do not have simple answers and for which multiple solutions exist, rather than merely organizing lessons. Interdisciplinary Focus: This involves integrating various disciplines to devise comprehensive solutions to issues or problems. Authentic Investigation: This seeks reality-based solutions to real problems through systematic approaches appropriate to the problem being addressed. Production of Artifacts and Exhibits: This pertains to representing ideas, products, and investigations that are planned, organized, and implemented. Collaboration: This encourages students to work together to achieve their goals.

Furthermore, PBL is recommended because it offers several advantages for students, as noted by Guido (2016) and Leming (n.d.). Firstly, it enhances long-term knowledge retention by fostering discussion and understanding during the learning process. Secondly, PBL accommodates diverse learning needs and styles, allowing students to tackle real-life issues, engage in group learning, and participate in constructive discussions. Lastly, PBL maintains continuous engagement by presenting real-world problems that directly interest students, making learning more meaningful and impactful.
