Podcasting, Day 1

So... how is he supposed to get back to the spaceship? Is anyone thinking that right now?

Good news Children of the Corn! Podcasting is upon us! This is our grand entrance to a different type of story telling. The Dark Side of the Earth, presented by Radiolab will give you a good indication of what we'll be looking at.

Listen to the story, and create a feature circle for the podcast. After you're finished, find another podcast and create feature circles for it.

Two feature circles are due today!

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.
