Faculty Podcast Announced
This spring the university plans to launch a new podcast called Spotlights, featuring interviews with faculty members in which they discuss their research, academic areas of interest, and projects they are working on. Dean of Faculty Jim Daegu said he expects this podcast celebrating faculty contributions will strengthen the university's reputation and popularity, since listeners from the university and beyond will be able to easily access episodes online. In addition, he noted that the podcast may help students at the university decide which classes to take by giving them more insight into the work and interests of specific professors.

Man: Did you see this article today?
Woman: Yeah, I was excited to see that. It'll definitely be helpful for us. Like, do you remember that marine biology class that I loved so much?
Man: The one you took last year? Yeah.
Woman: Well, the whole reason I decided to take that class is because I came across an article about Dr. Ogawa's research on sharks, and it was fascinating stuff. So I wanted to take a class with her afterwards, and I'm so glad I did. She kept weaving her research on sharks into the lectures. I think this podcast could also be helpful like that.
Man: For sure, because, like you're saying, a professor's research and interests can have an influence on class content.
Woman: Right. And sometimes we don't have much information about the professors, other than knowing whether they give a lot of assignments or not, stuff like that. So this should help.
Man: The only thing is, I'm not sure it'll have as much reach as they think. I mean, beyond the university.
Woman: W really? I was thinking it might, you know, if people hear an interesting episode and send a link to a friend, before long, word will spread to other people, and more people will hear about our university.
Man: Hmm, maybe.
Woman: And that'll be great for our school. Sort of give it more visibility, especially if it reaches potential students who might want to come here to study. It could lead to higher enrollment.
Man: Okay, that's a good point.

The girl in the conversation totally agrees with this decision. First, she used her own example. She mentioned that the only reason she loved the marine biology class so much was because she came across an article about Dr. Ogawa's research on sharks So she wanted to take a class with her. What's more, she believes the podcast will be a good way for students to get information about the professors. Although the boy shows concerns about the second point about increasing the enrollment for school, the girl has faith too, mainly because if people hear an interesting episode and send a link to a friend, word will spread to other people, with time, univesity may get sort of more visibility, which could lead to higher enrollment at the end of the day .

The girl in the conversation completely agrees with this decision. First, she gives her own example: she mentioned that the only reason she loved her marine biology class so much was that she had read an article about Dr. Ogawa’s research on sharks, which made her want to take a class with the professor. Additionally, she believes the podcast will help students learn more about professors.
Although the boy expresses concerns about the second point, the girl remains optimistic. She argues that if people hear an interesting episode and share the link with friends, word will spread. Over time, this could boost the university’s visibility, potentially leading to higher enrollment in the long run.
复盘提升版：
The woman strongly supports the university’s podcast plan for two reasons.
First, she believes it will help students choose courses more effectively. She shares her personal experience: after reading an article about Dr. Ogawa’s shark research, she enrolled in her marine biology class and loved how the professor integrated her research into lectures. Currently, students only know basic details like workload, but the podcast would provide deeper insights into professors’ expertise.
Second, she argues the podcast could boost the university’s visibility and enrollment. While the man doubts its reach beyond campus, the woman counters that interesting episodes could go viral if shared online. Over time, this exposure might attract prospective students, ultimately increasing enrollment. -
