Hello everyone, and welcome back to Who’s on the Aux podcast, where we discuss some of your favorite music artists and decide whether they are truly good or just overhyped. On the aux today, we have ACDC. Aleena: ACDC? Aren’t they like a heavy metal band or something? Fiona: Yeah, but they are like a good heavy metal band, and they are super popular. Aleena: Okay, whatever. Fiona: Anyways, I’m a bit nervous for this episode because my dad decided to be on the show. So I gotta be perfect and not embarrass myself. Aleena: Your dad??? Fiona: Yeah, let's meet him. (Dad introduces himself) Fiona: He got his Ph.D from Princeton! He’s super duper smart. And, a huge fan of heavy metal. (Dad talks about himself a little more) Aleena: Okay! Now, we’re going to discuss how AC/DC formed and learn more about them. SEGMENT 2: CAREER AND EARLY LIFE Fiona: Okay, to start, Dad, what do you know about AC/DC? Dad: Answers (either doesn’t know much and just listens to them, or he knows some history behind AC/DC) Aleena: Ohhh, that’s really cool. So you’ve been listening to them for a while now, then. Do you still listen to AC/DC, or just when you were younger? Fiona: Yeah, cause you're old. Aleena: I didn’t mean it like thattttt, just saying because I thought AC/DC was a band from when he was a teenager. Fiona: They first became a band in 1973, a year before my dad was born. I didn't realize how old he is until now. Aleena: hahhaaa Dad: Answers Aleena: Wait, Fiona, you said they became a band in 1973. How did that happen? Fiona: So it started with just two brothers, Malcolm and Angus Young. They wanted to make music because their eldest brother inspired them. Their most recent album was Power up in 2020. Aleena: Who was their brother? Fiona: George Young, he made The Easybeats, but anyways, then their sister, Margaret, helped with coming up the name…*gets cut off* Dad: Yeah, I know, the name AC/DC actually came from a sewing machine. It means altering current/direct current. Aleena: Ohh,h like the direction of the sewing machine. Fiona: Ahem.. I was gonna say that if you guys didn’t cut me off… ANYWAYS. Dad: Okay, I’m getting kind of bored with this. I already know everything about AC/DC! Fiona: Okay, since you know SOO much, I have a little surprise for segment 3! Aleena: Huh? What’s in segment 3? Fiona: You’ll find out right after this short break. SEGMENT 3: FICTIONAL GAMESHOW Fiona: Welcome back, everyone. I didn’t mention this earlier, but… in this episode, we are doing something a bit different. Instead of sharing opinions, we are going to play a fictional game show!!! Aleena: Yes, and Fiona's dad will play against each other to answer questions about AC/DC. Fiona: I will be the host of this game show. (Play Gameshow) Aleena: Thank you, everyone, for listening.

What's So True?

HOPEWELL VALLEY STUDENT PODCASTING NETWORK SHOW NAME: WHO’S ON THE AUX? EPISODE TITLE: WHAT’S SO TRUE? You are listening to Who’s on the Aux, the podcast with your hosts, Fiona Reznik and Aleena Kashif. In this episode of Who’s on the Aux, the Podcast, we discuss: What’s so true? About Gracie Abrams. SEGMENT 1: INTRODUCTION Aleena: Who’s on the Aux? We’re on the Aux. Hello everyone, and welcome back to Who’s on the Aux podcast, where we discuss some of your favorite music artists and decide whether they are truly good or overhyped. Fiona: Today on the Aux, we have Gracie Abrams, but before we dive deep into her, let's meet and interview one of our listeners who also happens to be our guest for today! Rory: (Introduce yourself) (Everyone interviews Rory a little bit.) SEGMENT 2: EARLY LIFE AND CAREER Fiona: So, Rory, do you know much about Gracie Abrams? I mean, I know you’re a fan of hers, but what about her early and how she got to where she is today? Rory: Yeah, I do! Fiona: Yeah, me too. Aleena: I don’t really know much about her, but I hope you guys can tell me about her. Fiona: September 7, 1999, in Los Angeles. She grew up in a creative Hollywood environment. She began writing music when she was around 8 years old. She attended The Archer School for Girls and later went on to Barnard College. She did pause her studies, though, to pursue her music full-time. Rory: Gracie is the daughter of filmmaker JJ Abrams, so she grew up in the Hollywood industry. She released her first album, Minor, in 2020, featuring songs like "21" and "I Miss You, I’m Sorry." Her second album, “This is What it Feels Like”, includes one of her most popular songs, “Feels Like.” In 2023, she released “Good Riddance,” which included songs like “I Know it Won't Work,” “Where Do We Go Now,” and “Amelie.” In 2024, she released her newest album, “The Secret of Us.” This album gained popularity incredibly quickly with popular songs including “Risk,” “I Love You, I’m Sorry,” and “That’s so True.” (Aleena can jump in whenever and ask questions.) Aleena: Before you all get to hear what I thought about today's artists, let's take a break to listen to some of our classmates talk about their podcast. SEGMENT 3: OPINIONS AND OUTRO. Aleena: (Welcome, everyone, back.) (Everyone says their opinions.) Fiona: Thank you, everyone, for listening. We’re your hosts, Fiona Reznik and Aleena Kashif, signing off. Next week on the Aux, we have what may be our final artist of the show. Aleena and I are unsure whether we want to continue the podcast after the class ends. But enough about the sad stuff, let's drop some hints for the next artist. They are a band; one of their most popular songs has to do with weather, and of course, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
