Podcasting Day 1

Good news Children of the Corn! Podcasting is upon us! In case you missed our grand entrance to podcasting, or you just really liked what you heard in class, here's the link to the Dark Side of the Earth, presented by Radiolab...

http://www.radiolab.org/story/242184-dark-side-earth/

This podcast has three things, which make up a good podcast:


  • Sights-- Yes, you can't see much in a podcast (it's all based on audio... duh), but if the podcast is good enough, it can create images in your head.
  • Sounds-- I mean, it doesn't get any simpler than this... just see above. But really, some small but focused sounds can improve that visual, while stimulating other senses. 
  • Facts-- Here's the heart of the story... in fact, it's the reason for the story. So if you've got the basic facts of said story, the sights and sounds should come naturally.
