Jennifer Blosil - Mormon Artist Podcast



· What are your project’s strengths and weaknesses as a podcast?

I feel like my podcast is very personal. Not in the sense that it’s intrusive, but that it is easy for everyone to connect to. I had my room mates listen to it once it was finished and they said that they felt like they knew Jenn through her words and music. On the other hand, I feel like my podcast could have been a lot clearer if I had asked Jenn to repeat the question after I asked it so people could more easily tell what she was talking about.

· What did you learn about yourself as an artist while creating this assignment?

I learned through Jenn that it’s impossible for me to ever completely forget about the LDS churches influence in my life and how it reflects in everything I do whether I like it or not. It’s such a central part of my life that there is no way I can ever completely ignore the fact that I am a member of it and know God’s eternal plan for me. In everything I create whether serious or not, I need to keep it even more in my mind so I please not only other people but God as well.

· What does it mean to you to be a Mormon artist?

It means to uphold and reflect the standards that you believe in no matter what the cost. There are always going to be those that don’t respect you for what you do or your standards that justify those actions. At the same time there is going to be a lot more people that do respect that. As a Mormon artist it is important to not let the opinions of others get to my head.
