Blog Post #4

Eagle's Nest Radio was a quality site I chose to visit. It was all about kids and their enthusiasm. They played great oldies throughout the video that really added to the background flow of events. I also enjoyed how each of the kids took this project so professionally, acting as if they were on the Channel 5 news. I saw a lot of computer animated voices or manipulation of the voices in the 2nd video I watched, I thought this was a very cool way to spice up a podcast. I thought it was clever how the represented Columbus days and all the different views different ethical groups had towards them.

Judy Scharf's Podcast Collection was also one that I enjoyed reading. When she says, "the term “podcast” is a cross between “broadcast” and “iPod.” A podcast is a “radio-style” talk show. It may include music as well." I got very excited because I am a huge fan of music. I completely believe that it can enhance and bring together.

The last one I viewed was Langwitches and I would argue that this really showed brilliance from the kids part. They were able to create their own read-along audiobooks and then present them as well. I could tell the kids were really into this because they wanted to make sure that it sounded perfect.
From these three blog spots, I have come to realize I can incorporate a variety of materials into my own podcast. This has also made me quite excited to get started and learn more about the computer I'm typing on now.
