Using the Content Composer in Revision Mode allowed me to really see how my first two episodes connect and what direction my podcast season is taking. Initially, the episodes on Polish food and on Coffee & Culture felt very different from each other. But once I laid all of that out on the digital post-its, I realized they share the same deeper purpose. Both show how the food and drink in Pittsburgh tell stories about identity, heritage, and community. Seeing this visually made the season feel much more cohesive.

The map also showed me that each episode explores a balance between tradition and change. The Polish food episode explores how traditions are preserved through recipes and family histories, while the coffee one turns cafés into symbols of cultural blending, creativity, and sometimes gentrification. Noticing this pattern helped me understand that my season is really about how everyday food spaces reflect the city’s past and future.

Several new ideas also emerged. I saw opportunities for future episodes on immigrant-owned bakeries, neighborhood markets, or local specialty foods. These are topics that naturally fit my core theme. The Composer assignment really helped me to realize that my podcast is not about what people eat or drink, but rather about how those spaces shape identity and belonging in Pittsburgh.
