GROUP PROJECT #2: Podcasts



2 podcasts
10-15 minutes each
each of your voices must be on it (handles or oversees a segment)
due Sunday at midnight

Listen to the entire This American Life - 20 Acts in 60 Minutes to get ideas on how you can package different types of radio stories into a short amount of time.

Each podcast must be broken up into different segments:
1. INTRO - name of podcast and blog and overview of content
2. INTERVIEW - 3 to 5 minutes in length
3. ADVERTISEMENT - for anything real or imagined (must last at least 30 seconds)
4. REVIEW or NEWS COMMENT - listen top Evan Harper's American Vandals 2 or Laura Massey's Green Dragon
5. OUTRO - name of podcast and blog

Each podcast must also have at least one instance of both pre-recorded music and natural sound recorded on site. I am listening for some consistency between the podcasts especially in terms of intro and outro. At least one segment should be repeated in both podcasts. The rest is up to you.

Remember, make it fun, engaging, and a delight to listen to.
