Elements+of+a+Podcast

=Elements of a Podcast= -An audio file, computer, microphone and a website. -Mp3 Audio File and sometimes a video file. (Is this the answer you wanted?) -Background music, maybe a video?, a good microphone, some sort of opening theme. -Something to talk about or listen to -Listeners -Introduction Breaking News Jokes (to life up the mood) -An .mp3 file containing a number of things. Usually some sort of news update, or just music (so similar to a radio). - I listen to the music, and also the joke is very important for a podcast. -You hear whoever is making the podcast addressing you (the listeners) and any other things they want you to hear (music, quotes etc.) -If there is a video within the podcast, it should match up with the background audio. Otherwise the whole thing could become rather confusing. -An interesting topic that someone can spend time talking about. e.g., the Olympics, new music, etc. Must be interesting though, because an audio clip talking about something boring without a video clip will be not be very effective. || -I like that you are able to do anything you want with the audio file such as music, talk show or anything -I like it because you can podcast about basically anything you want. You don't have to be a nerd or a pro to do one of these.! -I like that there are a huge variety of podcasts which you can choose from and that you are also able to choose which episode you want to download.! -I liked the whole premise, getting your news or talk shows in an entirely different way and being able to listen to them whenever you want and being able to just pull them out whenever you want. -I like music podcasts because it is a very convenient way to listen to a variety of music. -I like that there's always something new in each podcast, and that making one isn't terribly difficult.!! - I like the fact that you can find basically anything you want, because there are so many variety of podcast out there.! -The maker(s) of the podcast can the listeners on any subject he or she wants without giving away any personal information so they do not have to fear people coming after them for their opinion. -I like that there is a huge variety (especially when it comes to comedy podcasts) and that it can be easily transferred into an ipod so that it becomes convinient to watch anywhere. -I like it because it's a very effective way for one to reach out to the global society. It's not very hard to make, nor is it censored by the govn., and everything is self-chosen. || **What qualities and/or themes in the podcasts did you not like?** -I don't like the fact that it's a one whole media file unlike buffering media's that has a small file size -Like I said, you can basically podcast about anything. Some are bogus and inappropriate the the point where its not even funny anymore. ！ -The fact that sometimes the host of the media file has a lack of internet speed which makes the download way too slow. Or maybe its just my computer.... -Streaming has to be one of my favorite things about the internet, and having to download the whole thing just to be able to listen to a single part of it is a real bummer. Also, it's hard to tell whether a podcast will be good or not, you can waste a lot of your time like this. -The fact that if the anchor sounds bad, then the whole podcast becomes bad. -Similar to an online blog, it can be about whatever the author wants it to be. Its very possible to have it contain inappropriate content. !! -The listeners of the podcast have no way to give direct feedback to whoever makes the podcast, unless the maker states a email address or web page to do so.！ -Sometimes it takes too long to download and in the end it sometimes isnt the original podcast wanted. ||  ||   ||
