This post is so Generic!
Define the word generic?
The simplest definition is probably the best! Not specific. It means they aren't any unnecessary complicated details added it's just an umbrella of information that could be anything!

What are the generic properties of your site?
My pod-cast takes place at a Train station. Trains are universally known as trains throughout the world and nearly each town and city (even if you have to walk for a bit) has one. I haven't used language like oyster card as to not limit it to just London located trains. There are many different train stations and it would work in any of them with breaking the genericness. I have refined the generic content by changing my original idea of a tube stop as there are only tubes in a particular region of the world and is not universal language e.g. Americans called it the "Subway"

60 second audio experience - Train Station Star
Have you ever consider that your life is a film? Yeah ok say that this particular is called The train station and you are the star. Okay here is some direction! Go find somewhere to sit? Are there any seats around? Look properly! Any on your right or left? Your legs are probably feeling a little tired now. I know you don't want to seem lazy but if you really want to you can sit down. You know what sit down right! Even if it's on the floor I don't care. There doesn't that feel better? Ok now try your best to smile.... good good! Now find someone, anyone and look at them. Study every feature of their face. Notice the way they wear there hair, Trace each line on their skin. Consider what age they could be. Are they happy? are they sad? Are the wondering why there's a creepy person on the floor staring at them? Take a second to appreciate that that person is alive! They've spent trillions of seconds on this planet. Kissed a person. Been in a fight. Cried. Laugh. And you will never even know any actual definitive facts about them. You just gotta let them pass. Wave to them. I'm being serious say goodbye and wave right now! To them your just an extra in the background of their movie. It's called sonder by the way in case your curious. Take out your earphones and listen out for the vibration of the track..... If you can hear your train approaching I guess it's time to go. Go star in that crazy movie we call life.
