Challenges:
One challenge I had for my podcast was that my interview conducted with a woman and that was hard to make words up that a she might say. How I overcame this challenge was I watched a movie with Jacqueline Kennedy and ask my partner for advise and it worked.

Real-World Significance
Now a days security surrounding the president and his family is intense. The Secret Service is on high alert constantly and the president would never be aloud to drive in a un-covered car again.
