This Week @ NASAVideo podcast link
This podcast (or NASA cast) is from NASA. The podcasts can be played as either audio clip or video clip. I chose the video podcast, to see some differences between audio and video podcasts. This channel tells you what events have occurred weekly. It is sort of like astronomy news.
The podcast that I chose included some information such as landing of Soyuz spacecraft, ambassador of exploration, and 17th anniversary of Apollo 17 mission. It included various information that are categorized differently with title pages.
Before I watched this podcast, I was expecting of getting some news of what’s going on in the universe, or some facts of the universe. However, it was mostly about some events going on NASA, not like giving information of exploring the universe. After I watched the video, I was not pretty satisfied with the contents.
This podcast was hard for me to understand. It might be related to my lack of English skills, as well as my knowledge of astronomy. After I looked at the script, I was able to figure out what kind information the podcast was giving.
Despite of having a hard time understanding the contents, I liked the visual effects of the podcast. Compared to audio podcasts, I could be more interested in watching the podcast. I was able to focus more on the topic, and the video tended to grab my attention better than the audio one. While I was watching the podcast, I thought that video podcasts will be beneficial for those who are visual learners like me.
This podcast channel has a new episode weekly, including a lot of information within. Since the podcast is not a private one, there is no information about the creator, or the narrator of the podcast. Overall, the podcast was created from the NASA organization.
