In order to know more about podcasts, I found three example podcasts from different sources; two from websites and one from itunes. Since I was interested in sciences podcasts, two of them were about some scientific facts and the other one is about teenage life, which can be related to the topic that we are working on at the moment.

This is a podcast called “Pharaohs Had Heart Disease”, which is from online science forum “Scientific American”. It is from a section named “60-second science” and including introduction and conclusion, one podcast tend to have a length of 1min 15sec to 1min 30sec. The podcast is very short and it focuses on one major topic.
Basically, the podcast is about that scientists have found out that ancient Egyptian mummy had symptoms that are related to heart diseases. It gives an idea to people that heart disease is not a disease that people in modern times only get it from having greasy food.
I think this podcast is very interesting. It tells you some scientific facts in fun ways. Science tend to be very boring when you just talk about it without any visual explanations, however, I was able to enjoy listening to this podcast because the topic was simple and easy to understand. Also, the person voice recorded is very clear which I can hear it without any noises.
However, since all the information has to be done within 1min 30sec, the speaker tends to speak fast that sometimes I cannot understand the contents of the podcast thoroughly. If there was no transcript, it would be hard for me to fully understand what the speaker is talking about.
This podcast channel put new episodes very often with the interval of one to three days maximum. I think most of the topics are very interesting. However, I was not able to find information of the podcaster from this podcast except her name; I suppose that she definitely is a member of Scientific American.
