“Alô, alô, freguesia!”: um podcast sobre a feira da Messejana

Abstract

“Alô, Alô, Freguesia!” is a non-fictional narrative journalistic podcast about the Messejana Fair, the neighborhood's traditional free trade that operates throughout the week, but it is on Sunday, its traditional day, that it shows its true power. The podcast format was chosen because it made production easier, as it allowed the interviews to be recorded during the working hours of the market traders, who make up the majority of the sources used in this work. In addition, they are easily accessible to those looking for them, as they can be hosted on different platforms and allow listeners to carry out other tasks at the same time. The product seeks to learn about the history of the Messejana Fair from the perspective of the traders, as well as highlighting its social and cultural importance in the history of the neighborhood. It consists of three episodes that deal with the history and economic and cultural importance of the fair, as well as providing a deeper insight into the life and work of one of the traders interviewed. To compose the sources of the work, seven traders, a professor with a PhD in Economics from the Federal University of Ceará and a professor with a PhD in Sociology from the Federal University of Ceará were interviewed. The podcast has three episodes, all averaging 20 minutes, and was produced using the Davinci Resolve program and then hosted on the free Soundcloud and Spotify platforms.
