Alex Baker is a senior broadcasting major from Shadyside, Ohio. After graduation, he intends to attend Wheeling University, where he will pursue a master’s degree in Athletic Administration. He is pursuing a career as a Major League Baseball or National Basketball Association play-by-play broadcaster.

 In a world where AI can generate content in seconds, podcasting matters more than ever. Only real voices can express emotions in the stories being told. They reflect lived experience, not algorithms. While artificial intelligence can produce words, it can’t replicate conviction, presence, or the weight behind a story someone chooses to tell.

 To Alex, being passionately vocal means speaking with purpose on the topics he’s passionate about. It means his perspective is what’s valuable — what’s included in the story, what isn’t, what’s emphasized, and what he’s willing to stand behind. Passionately vocal storytelling isn’t about being the loudest voice; it’s about being the honest one.
