Enjoy Kyla C.'s review of the podcast The Magic Sash (On TRAX by PRX)
4Enjoy Kyla C.'s review of the podcast The Magic Sash, about the right to win women’s right to vote. The newly released podcast The Magic Sash is entertaining and educational! Aly Raisman, a gold-medal gymnast and advocate, hosts and she pops in multiple times during each podcast to give us some more facts about the events. What’s incredibly impressive is that while it is educational, it is also really entertaining. The voice actors are animated, adding fun and detail to each episode.
The Magic Sash follows Lotty (Katelyn Joseph) and Isaiah (David Dotson) as they begin to prepare for their school project about women’s rights. Together they unexpectedly dive into the past with a magical sash where they discover the challenges women faced in the 1800s and 1900s. They learn about the struggles that women’s rights advocates went through just to make their voice heard. Florence (Jennifer Roszell) and Susan B. Anthony (Susan Riley Stevens) are the main advocates that Lotty and Isaiah learn about.
This podcast has many highlights, including how it really paints a picture in my head, which is especially important in a podcast. The educational facts about women’s rights mixed with the edge-of-your-seat storyline are spot on. We get informed about many events in the history of women’s rights, but it isn’t just a boring fact list. It has a real, big-screen-worthy plot. All the characters are played by talented actors that not only speak in character, but also grab your attention with their tone. Also unforgettable are the sound effects. In entertainment where you can’t actually see what is going on, the sound effects are so important. They illuminate what can’t be described by voices. For example, when Lotty and Isaiah travel in and out of the past, there is a time-traveling sound that is always used. This is fantastic because I always know when they go back in time. The time warping could easily get confusing, but it's not because of the well-placed sound effects.
Throughout the entire podcast, we are enlightened with plenty of interesting facts. When Lotty and Isaiah are in the past, we learn about certain events by actually participating in them. Once they return back to the future, Aly Raisman usually informs us more about where we were and how that event made a difference in getting rights for women.
I give The Magic Sash 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 9 to14. It can be found free on Trax at https://www.trax.fm/the-magic-sash.
