As with\nher previous episodes, she comes up with creative ways to lead her audience on\nall the way to the final episode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise said in the previous blog post\nabout <em>The Habitat<\/em>, Lynn\u2019s use of a specific topic for each of her\nepisode proves to be helpful up until her last podcast. This style of\npodcasting organizes her story and brings a way for her listeners to be able to\nfollow easily with what she has to say. For example, she has topics about how\nthe crew \u201cgets warm and fuzzy\u201d and how the crew \u201cgets pissed\u201d which are all one\nepisode long. Then, with each, she concludes her episode by showing how the topic\nabout such interactions between the crew members comes back to the idea of the purpose\nand meaning behind this experiment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, one noticeable aspect of all her episodes\nis the use of Lynn\u2019s music segments in her pieces. In happy moments, she uses\nbubbly, floaty music which give an air of floating around, and in unhappy\nevents, she uses dark, mystifying outer space music which give a feeling of destitute\nnot at Earth, but in space, and in Mars. This utilization of music selections draw\nthe listener\u2019s emotions into the story and lock it in there so that they would\nbe pulled into listening to the entire piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, Lynn makes ties and connections\nreal strong between her episodes so that it triggers the audience\u2019s memories and\ncreates a consistent identity throughout her series. For example, she goes deep\ninto how the crew members paired off and that there seemed to be some\nrelationships and romance going on between them in a previous episode. Then, in\nthe last episode, she comes back to this same topic and follows up with what had\nreally happened between these crew members with real face-to-face interviews or\nrecordings of phone calls they had about whether or not the recordings made\ninside the Habitat was what seemed like a romantic relationship to anyone\nlistening or just a friendly relationship. This has an effect of reminding the audience\nto keep up with listening so that they don\u2019t\u2019 miss information that they probably\nwere curious about too. Another example was where Shay, the crew doctor, was\nthe most disliked out the of entire crew, which was mentioned in the episode\nwhere the crew \u201cgets pissed\u201d and is followed up in the last episode with an\ninterview of if Shay knew if she was disliked by all the crew members and how\nshe felt about it. In this way, Lynn\u2019s podcast shows strong cohesiveness throughout\nthe entire podcast series, and she brings it to a close with a strong ending of\nhow the crew members had returned to their previous lives and how there was a\ntrial two of the exact same experiment being repeated at the moment, ending\nwith an air of surprise..
