In the debut episode, Maureen Lynch, a senior at Assumption University majoring in Communications and Media, takes us on a thought-provoking journey into the art of inaction. As the Editor in Chief of the school newspaper, an academic tutor, and a dedicated service provider at a pancreatic cancer charity where she interviews and profiles survivors, Maureen is no stranger to a busy schedule. Yet, she challenges us to reconsider the relentless pace of modern life.

Maureen invites listeners to reflect on the question, "Who am I?" by delving into the philosophical origins of the "self." She encourages us to discover what laziness means to us personally and to recognize the consequences of measuring our worth solely through achievements. Through her insightful discussion, Maureen offers a refreshing perspective on how to integrate moments of inaction into our lives, fostering a healthier balance in the face of daily hustle culture. Join Maureen as she explores these profound concepts, guiding us toward a more mindful and intentional way of living.

About the Project: This project involves Communication & Media majors creating a ninety-minute, three-part podcast series as their final capstone project. Students transition from learners to practitioners by proposing, scripting, recording, editing, and broadcasting their original podcasts, which must address both personal and public concerns. The podcast format is chosen for its relevance and growth in the industry, and the long-form nature of the series encourages students to develop storytelling, research, and production skills. The course emphasizes understanding the opportunities and limitations of media in human communication.
