Podcast Investigation 4

Rethinking Adolescence
Audio podcast link http://feeds.feedburner.com/RethinkingPodcast

This podcast is recorded from a history teacher. I firstly found it from itunes podcast section, and then I found the website of the creator of the podcast.

His podcasts are based on rethinking one’s adolescence in different ways. From the podcast that I heard, it told to people that journey of one’s life is very important and people should not be afraid of choosing the wrong path of their lives, even though it might be a challenge for some people.

I really liked this podcast; it made me feel calm and gave me a time to think about myself. This podcast gave a different mood than the other two, which were about sciences. The advices that he gave have very deep meanings and they were very helpful for me to think how I should make the path of my life.

The music was also nice as well. It matched with the record and the tone of his voice. His podcast gave me some information that music is also one of the most important parts of creating a podcast. If the music was very loud and fast, it would just distract the record voice.

I think his podcast went very well until he mentioned about his website URL. Even though the URL telling was sort of a type of putting an advertisement in a podcast, it ruined the quiet and sentimental mood of the podcast. Maybe he could’ve said the advertisement without the music to make the contents and the ads separate each other.

So far, there are only five podcasts uploaded on the website; 4 audio and 1 video. The latest one was published on 25th of April 2007, which has been a long time. It seems like he stopped podcasting at the moment.

On the podcast section, you cannot find information about the author, but on his blog. Therefore, if you want to know more about the author, it’s better to check his online blog.
