Professor Dolson’s personal story was really interesting to listen to. I thought the connections she drew between the neighborhood where she parked and her own home were really clever and they made the story feel very well structured. By tying the beginning of the story to a detail at the end, Professor Dolson gives her story a circular feel which makes it feel complete and satisfying. I also think the use of background music helped to add emotional weight to the story. All music is culturally coded to invoke some feeling in us, and the music choices Prof. Dolson makes, mostly trending toward somber or serious music, added an additional layer of gravitas to the story.
