SHATTERED: THE PODCAST
By: Scott Nies & Ceci Taylor
Welcome to the podcast component of Shattered! This five part series aim to provide an auditory component to the stories examining the murder of Johnny Jacoby and the shooting of Cori Romero.
These podcasts were recorded and planned by Ceci Taylor and Scott Nies, but they utilize research and interviews conducted by the entire class.
DISCLAIMER: Due to the restrictions of COVID-19, these podcasts were recorded outside and over the phone, for the most part the audio is easy to understand but some aspects of the incorporated interviews may be a little harsh on the ears due to background noise.
Episode 1 of our podcast series looks to introduce the timeline of the shootings and give audiences an overview of the point of this podcast and what we hope to achieve.
Episode 2 of our podcast series will illustrate the selfless life of Johnny Jacoby and his profound impact on the Windsor community. It features audio recordings from interviews with Dave and Kendra Jacoby and Dean Kaylor and we reccount excerpts from interviews with Mark and Kristen Jacoby and longtime Windsor resident Mike Ball.
Episode 3 of our podcast looks to examine the events of Cori Romero's shooting, how she has progressed since surviving her incident and outline how what she thought to be an accidental hit and run on I-25 turned into a crime scene.
Episode 4 of our series is a significantly longer entry than any other episode as it is chalk full of information. We examine the autopsy report our class was able to get from the Weld County Police department and Ceci has an extremely in depth interview with fellow classmate Dan who gives us insight into his acquisition and analysis of the ballistics information surrounding the shootings.
The 5th and final episode of this component of our project aims to dispel the myths of the 'I-25 Sniper' and examine how the journalistic process - although difficult - helps to establish narratives that refrain from pushing narratives of panic.
