Listening to past podcasts

I listened to podcasts that were done in Mr. Wakeman's EDM 310 class in Spring of 2009. The two I chose to listen to were the Last Lecture of Randy Pausch and Shift Happens. Both had some very interesting information and were well done but could be improved and I know I could use the mistakes made in these podcasts to make my own recording better.

One mistake that really stood out at me was the scripted sound. Both groups at times sounded like they were reading from a script and it sounded almost robotic. Another issue I had with both podcasts was the problem of voice level. The first being too low and the second being too loud. One would like to hear a nice soothing voice on a podcast almost like a talk radio type voice. In my own podcast I hope to avoid filler words like "um" and long pauses. I would also like my own podcast to be more of a conversational format not actually saying, "I am going to pass the microphone of to so and so." Paper rattling is also a big no no, the listener wants to hear the speaker not the paper they are looking at. Both of these podcasts were good tools to help me better my own recording.
