Podcast and The way They are Done

Pod cast is like a talk show on the Internet. Many pod cast are instructional and teaching. I listened to many pod cast - SmartBoard Lessons, Kidcast, EdTechTalk, MacBreak Weekly, and This Week in Photography- doing research to see how most are setup.

Many pod cast start with interesting music. The music is what lets you think that the pod cast could be interesting. Many people put cool rock music to get a "hip" feel to their pod cast. Some will put in neat sound effects as in the pod cast SmartBoard Lessons. They put in school bells ringing to go along with their theme.

After the music, the introduction to the pod cast comes on stating the pod cast name; what they will be talking about; and sometimes advertisement. This allows the listeners understand what they will be talking about and discussing on the show.

When it is time to start the main person will introduce the co-host, if there are any. They will talk a few about news and other things to get relate to the listener. Most pod cast sound like talk shows off the radio. Many times these discussions lead into the issue of the pod cast. They clearly discuss the issue at hand. Some put in jokes to lighten up the mood, and to not bore their listeners. Some of the pod casts were boring so I agree with the ones that put in jokes or stories as in This Week in Photography. Pod cast are great instructional audio files that allow you to learn things easily.
