But over the last two years her gently satirical take on life has caught on with audiences well beyond the university.</p> <p>In 2023 she began writing humor columns for two Pennsylvania newspapers. Over the last year her work has been distributed through the news syndicate Cagle Cartoons Inc. which reaches more than 800 media outlets.</p> <p>This fall Paskhaver is reaching new audiences through a more modern medium. She has created a children’s educational podcast, <a href="https://www.gokidgo.com/wordsearch" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Word Search</em></a>, for the platform GoKidGo.  She has written scripts for 52 episodes—each one a 15-minute fictional and funny slice of life set in the sleepy town of Littleton.</p> <p>The program, which includes voiceovers by Rutgers English professor<a href="https://wp.rutgers.edu/people/writing-program-faculty/people-details/826-hufker-paul" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Paul Hufker,</a> is carried on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, and iHeartRadio. Margot Maxwell, a graduate of the Mason Gross School of the Arts, served as the sound engineer.</p> <p>“I didn’t really intend to get into podcasting,” said Paskhaver, a computer science major with minors in American studies and political science. “I noticed GoKidGo had programs focusing on STEM subjects, history, and music, but nothing on vocabulary.</p> <p>“So I thought ‘aha, here is my chance.’ I pitched them the idea and they accepted it.’’</p> <p>The characters she created could fit easily into a classic Saturday morning cartoon show: an athletic, assertive teenage girl, Jane Boswell, and her nervous, nerdy friend Sam Johnson. Rather than solve mysteries—as in Hanna-Barbera’s <em>Scooby Doo Where Are You</em>? —the two friends search for words missing from a dusty old dictionary in Sam’s house.  Sam, the story goes, is a distant descendant of Samuel Johnson, the British author whose <em>A Dictionary of the English Language</em> was published in 1755.<span class="wf_caption" style="padding: 5px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 20px; float: right; display: inline-block; max-width: 400px;" role="figure"><img src="/images/IMG_links/2024/thumbnail_The_Word_Search.png" alt="thumbnail The Word Search" width="400" height="400" style="margin: initial; float: none; width: 100%;" /><span style="text-align: left; padding: 4px; color: #999999; background-color: #f2f0e8; display: block;">Alexandra Paskhaver created The Word Search podcast with characters Jane Boswell and Sam Johnson </span></span></p> <p>“There is something wrong with this dictionary,” Jane declares in the debut episode. “There are missing lines all over the place.”</p> <p>Sam confesses that his ancestor never quite finished the job.   “My side of the family moved to Littleton out of shame,” he says.</p> <p>The show gets positive user reviews, with one listener calling it “amazing” and another noting “how fun everything sounds.”</p> <p>Hufker, who teaches in the Writing Program and <a href="https://paulhufker.wixsite.com/paulhufker">is also a playwright</a>, described <em>The Word Search</em> as “Faulkner meets Garrison Keillor.”</p> <p>“Alexandra has this amazing insight and foresight in the way she writes,” says Hufker, who does the voices for two characters: Jane’s Scottish accented father, Mr. Boswell, and Sam. “She has created this very specific, very clear sense of place that’s very Faulknerian while also picking at these small things and making them funny in a way that’s very Prairie Home Companion.”</p> <p>Paskhaver said her whimsical writing style was influenced by the British author and humorist, P. G. Wodehouse, and the American newspaper columnist Dave Barry. She also cited Fred Rogers and his 1969 testimony before the U.S. Senate in which he famously said: “You don’t have to bop someone over the head to make a point.”</p> <p>“I do think that’s missing in a lot of modern children’s shows,” Paskhaver said. “There’s a lot of action thrown at you, and I wanted to slow that down and focus on the more conversational day-to-day interactions.</p> <p><span class="wf_caption" style="padding: 5px; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; float: left; display: inline-block; max-width: 400px;" role="figure"><img src="/images/IMG_links/2024/Headshotlower_grade_edited.jpg" alt="Headshot lower grade" width="400" height="400" style="margin: initial; float: none; width: 100%;" /><span style="text-align: left; padding: 4px; color: #999999; background-color: #f2f0e8; display: block;">Rutgers English Professor Paul Hufker</span></span><span></span>“You don’t need to fly a rocket ship through the city when you could just be exploring your neighborhood park.”</p> <p>Hufker got to know Paskhaver when she took his 200-level writing course on creativity. He was impressed with the quality and range of her writing, which includes an 18-episode sitcom on the American Revolution that she wrote during an independent study with Louis Masur, a professor of history and American studies. A research paper she wrote for Hufker—<em>The Power of the Pen: Creative Propaganda and the Battle for the American Mind</em>—was presented at the Rutgers University Undergraduate Research Writing Conference.</p> <p>“I stopped her in the hallway and said: ‘You have got to keep writing,’ Hufker recalled.</p> <p>Paskhaver intends to follow that advice. She landed many of her current writing gigs—from newspapers to the podcast—through cold calls. She said she’ll continue exploring writing opportunities while pursuing a career as a software engineer.</p> <p>She noted there are key commonalities between the two roles.</p> <p>Her brief bio for Cagle reads: “Alexandra Paskhaver is a software engineer and writer. Both jobs require knowing where to stick semicolons, but she’s never quite; figured; it; out.”</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </main> </div> </div> <sas-footer-identity class=" grid-child container-sas-footer-identity full-width-v2"> <div class=" sas-footer-identity"> <div class="sas-footer-identity no-card "> <ul class="mod-menu mod-menu_dropdown-metismenu metismenu mod-list mod-menu mod-list nav navbar-sas-ru sas-footer-menu sas-footer-menu-right"> <li class="metismenu-item item-2405 level-1"><a href="https://eventmanager.sas.rutgers.edu/" >SAS Events</a></li><li class="metismenu-item item-2406 level-1 alias-parent-active"><a href="/about/news" >SAS News</a></li><li class="metismenu-item item-2408 level-1"><a href="/about/sas-offices" >SAS Offices</a></li><li class="metismenu-item item-1789 level-1"><a href="https://www.rutgers.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">rutgers.edu</a></li><li class="metismenu-item item-1790 level-1"><a href="https://search.rutgers.edu/people" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Search People</a></li><li class="metismenu-item item-1791 level-1"><a href="/search-website" ><img src="/media/templates/site/cassiopeia_sas/images/search-magnifying-glass.PNG" alt="" width="25" height="24" loading="lazy"><span class="image-title visually-hidden">Search Website</span></a></li></ul> </div> <div class="sas-footer-identity no-card sas-footer-logo-left sas-footer-logo-left sas-branding"> <div id="mod-custom963" class="mod-custom custom"> <p><img src="/media/templates/site/cassiopeia_sas/images/RNBSAS_H_WHITE.png" alt="White RU Logo" width="300" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-left: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px;" loading="lazy"></p></div> </div> </div> </sas-footer-identity> <footer class="container-footer footer full-width">  <div class="grid-child">  <div><h3 class="title">Connect with Rutgers</h3> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li><a href="https://newbrunswick.rutgers.edu/" target="_blank" >Rutgers New Brunswick</a> <li><a href="https://www.rutgers.edu/news" target="blank">Rutgers Today</a> <li><a href="https://my.rutgers.edu/uxp/login" target="_blank">myRutgers</a> <li><a href="https://scheduling.rutgers.edu/scheduling/academic-calendar" target="_blank">Academic Calendar</a> <li><a href="https://classes.rutgers.edu//soc/#home" target="_blank">Rutgers Schedule of Classes</a> <li><a href="https://emnb.rutgers.edu/one-stop-overview/" target="_blank">One Stop Student Service Center</a> <li><a href="https://rutgers.campuslabs.com/engage/events/" target="_blank">getINVOLVED</a> <li><a href="https://admissions.rutgers.edu/visit-rutgers" target="_blank">Plan a Visit</a> </ul> </div>  <div> <h3 class="title">Explore SAS</h3> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li><a href="https://sas.rutgers.edu/academics/majors-minors" target="blank">Majors and Minors</a> <li><a href="https://sas.rutgers.edu/academics/areas-of-study" target="_blank" >Departments and Programs</a> <li><a href="https://sas.rutgers.edu/academics/centers-institutes" target="_blank">Research Centers and Institutes</a> <li><a href="https://sas.rutgers.edu/about/sas-offices" target="_blank">SAS Offices</a> <li><a href="https://sas.rutgers.edu/giving" target="_blank">Support SAS</a> </ul> </div>  <div> <h3 class="title">Notices</h3> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li><a href="https://www.rutgers.edu/status" target="_blank" >University Operating Status</a> </ul> <hr> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li><a href="https://www.rutgers.edu/privacy-statement" target="blank">Privacy</a> </ul> </div> <div class="moduletable "> <h3 class="title">Quick Links</h3> <div id="mod-custom960" class="mod-custom custom"> <ul> <li><a href="/contact-us">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="http://sasit.rutgers.edu/submit-a-workorder" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">IT Help</a></li> <li><a href="https://canvas.rutgers.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Canvas</a></li> </ul></div> </div> <div class="moduletable "> <h3 class="title">Contact Us</h3> <div id="mod-custom113" class="mod-custom custom"> <div class="contact-us-info">Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences<br>77 Hamilton Street<br>New Brunswick, NJ 08901<br>P  848-932-7896<br>E  <joomla-hidden-mail is-link="1" is-email="1" first="aW5mbw==" last="c2FzLnJ1dGdlcnMuZWR1" text="aW5mb0BzYXMucnV0Z2Vycy5lZHU=" base="" >This email address is being protected from spambots.
