Podcasts

After visiting several different podcasts, I found similarities as well as differences. First and foremost you should have a good introduction to grab or capture your audiences attention like in the Smartboard Lessons Podcast. As soon as it started it had my attention because it was lively in its intro.
Secondly, you want to make sure your speech or topic is lively like the one in the Kidcast podcast. It was very lively, and in an informal setting. It was entertaining for the majority of the podcast. There were a few times where it seemed that there were just alot of people talking all at once.
And that leads to the third thing, you want to make sure that you are prepared voice wise. Make sure that you are speaking clearly, and that the mic you are using is static free. In the Edtechtalk podcast, it was very dull and the guy was speaking in a very low voice, or his mic was on low setting. I was immediately bored and find it hard to follow from that standpoint.
Lastly, you want to combine these things throughout the segment from the intro to the outro. Use the energy flow to conduct the podcast. Be lively and creative, captivate from start to finish like they did in the KidCast podcast. Make full use of all the technology we have and make it great.
