### Podcasts

Small Group Project Opportunity: Pairs

Podcasts are simply audio files (mp3) with voiced narration. Many are entertaining, exploratory, and informative. The aesthetic and production values of radio have some influence. But often, depending on audience, a more casual ethos is achieved in successful “do-it-yourself” productions.

Podcasts are written for the listener. Audio quality still important, as is some degree of editing, and content/structure planning. A podcast can be dowloaded from a website, syndicated through a blog, or sold through Itunes etc. Your podcast should be 5 (no more than 10) minutes in length and should be recorded in a quiet environment.
