I have never had a podcast before this class, as my thought can be condensed to a blog/probably should never be shown to the public. But after going over these two readings, I could see myself getting into this whole fad. The one soucre of media that I am most interested in is film, but the structure of setting up a podcast is much like preparing a film, except for the fact that I can be as ugly as I want and still have people interested in my podcast as long as I can act well. "Seek out podcasts that capitalize on the audio feature by providing dynamic dialog, intereing sound effects, and musical elements that will engage learners. They should hold the attention of listeners and motive them to ask questions, practice, or take action," (Pg. 2). As an amatuer film maker these are the things I hope to accomplish with my films. At Fort Lewis, these podcasts could have both constructive and destructive potential. If there was a website where students could host their own podcasts, it could open up a whole new way for us to share information about school and campus locations. On the other hand, it could be used as a gossip corner, or students who think they know about a subject and actually hav no idea what they're talking about could put up incorrect facts. I think there are little to no differences between a podcast and a radio show, they both have advertisements, they must have intriguing dialog, good music and sound effects, and they both either tell a story or try to infrom through audio.
