Podcast #1 http://drumcode.libsyn.com/rss  


This podcast is called "Drumcode Radio Live", created by the producer Adam Beyer. Drumcode is the name of his label so he often has guest mixes and sets uploaded from other producers under his label which I enjoy. This episode is Adam Beyer live at the Cocoon closing party at Amnesia, a club in Ibiza. I like this podcast because being a techno lover, these podcasts give me new music every week by several producers that I love. Especially because techno doesn't play on the radio, I'm not a fan of the "Top 100". I also like that I feel like I'm there at the closing concert in Ibiza. Something that I don't particularly like is the sound quality, most of the podcasts are good when they're recorded in a studio.. however this was recorded live at a club. It's different from traditional radio broadcasting because there are no commercials, or ads. Also you can pause the podcast or fast forward/ rewind to a part you like.  

Podcast #2 Nutrition Diva: 10 Most Nutritious Foods For The Money http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/xml/nutrition.xml


This podcast "Nutrition Diva" Monica Reinagel gives painless advice to help improve eating habits. Eating healthier to be the best diva. I liked this podcast because her voice was very interesting, not monotone at all although there were no other speakers. She talks about how people with smaller budgets tend to buy cheaper, more artificial food that isn't good for you at all. She promotes her book called "Secrets For a Healthy Diet" that some of these bargain healthy ingredients are called for. I did wish she included some background music. However, I did like the fact that it was almost a "mini podcast" being only 10 minutes long. It's similar to traditional radio broadcasting because Reinagal speaks about how this podcast episode is sponsors by Audible, and tries to convince listeners to subscribe to it/ use it for future road trips. 

Podcast: "Ask Women" http://feeds.sideshownetwork.tv/AskWomen

This podcast episode is called "How to Escape the Friendzone" hosted by Kristen Carney and Marni Kinrys. They speak about relationship advice which can be relatable to almost anyone. The great thing about this podcast is that although it's called "Ask Women" there is always a guy speaker present to give the male side of the situation and his reaction. It helps women relate to how the male may feel without having to confront them about it. I disliked that there were lots of ads. What I did like was that the podcast wasn't a professional interview, more so casual conversation filled with sarcastic jokes and laughs that made the podcast very entertaining. It's similar to traditional radio broadcasting because of the ads. Different because I've never heard such a relatable topic on the radio. 




PODCAST Assignment #3

How is this podcast episode like or unlike traditional radiobroadcasting?” Explain your answer with specifics!Also share your general impressions/what you like and don’tlike about the podcast episode in questionhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/TEDTalks_audioIt is about an interesting topic, well developed and has apositive message. This topic interests me because a lot ofemployed people are not happy with their jobs. He talkedabout a very important point “ Human Nature” and “IdeaTechnologyPodcasts are more than downloadable audio. The bigdifference between downloadable audio and a Podcast is thesubscription component. Podcasts allow you to subscribe, andnew shows are automatically downloaded as they areproduced. Listeners can subscribe via Pod catcher software,and an RSS reader that supports enclosures, or iTunes. RegularInternet radio does not allow you to subscribe.http://feeds.feedburner.com/AmericasTestKitchenRadioGreat topic, food is always good to talk about especially whenis about how to choose the right plate in the menu.The great benefit about podcasts are you can take them withyou anywhere and anytime, I don’t have time to watch TV andI just listen to the radio when I am driving, so podcast areperfect for me as a communication major student I need to beinformed and podcast are a great way.Unlike traditional mass media, which is in a constant struggle togrow the audience so that it can sell advertising for a higherpremium, the beauty of Podcasting is that the best content isvery niche and it's not always going to be relevant to thatniche audience.
http://feeds.feedburner.com/tiestos_club_lifeLast but not least, this is one of my favorites I start my dayslistening to this podcast, great music and always up dated,One of the best parts of a Podcast is the ability to fast forward,rewind, pause and delete the content. With so much contentbeing produced into these channels, it's also fine to totallyignore a specific show or episode.

Assignment #3; Podcasts

Podcast #1: http://www.paintballaccess.com/2015/01/podcast-071-nick-slowiak/

This podcast is primarily interviewing and conversing with a professional paintball player and his views on the new PSP rules, new team and the upcoming tournaments.  I enjoyed this podcast maybe because you would not see this on the news.  But the discussion matter was relevant for me because I enjoy paintball and also the new rules etc.  The difference between this and a radio station is the time length devoted to one subject. This podcast was 97 minutes long, there’s no ongoing radio discussion that long.  Also the commercial aspect, this podcast didn't have any commercials and there wasn’t any advertising. Another difference is the format it’s more of a conversation amongst a friend.  But a similarity is presentation; it was presented in a professional manner. Overall this was a great experience with a great podcast.  I don’t listen to podcasts but I am definitely going to tune in to pbaccess' podcasts in the near future.





Podcast #2;https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/firearms-radio-network-all/id608035917?mt=2

My second podcast is about firearms and its perks. This podcast has a lot of natural sound, if it's from music to shot sound this podcast has it all.  They also bring in a few guest, one of the more focused on guest was the hero that took down the shooter in Oregon.  He had taken down the shooter who open fired in a campus in Oregon.  He took multiple gunshot wounds and broken legs to take the shooter down.  This podcast was very informative and presents information in an organized manner.  This podcast is not like the radio for a few reasons.  For instance, for the time that I had listened to they had cursed a few times.  Also they are conversing more as friends than a coworker.  This podcast also didn't have any commercials unlike the typical radio broadcasting.  The information flowed extra smoothly and I enjoyed the podcast.  Reasoning for choosing this podcast is because I am pro-gun and like to hear other minds that think like mine.



Podcast #3:https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/kevin-hart-meet-the-comedian/id500275236?mt=2


This podcast is about Kevin Hart explaining multiple issues in today’s world with a twist, it’s hilarious.  I chose this podcast because I think Kevin Hart is extremely funny, also he is my favorite comedian.  He explains the many factors of today's society including social media and the positives and negatives.  This podcast isn't like the typical radio broadcasting for several reasons.  For example, he curses throughout the entire podcast, and you will not hear a single curse on the radio, and to be honest I think the cursing aspect plays a big role for some odd reason. The entirety of the podcast there was not a commercial, which is great because it is more enjoyable, because I am not being cut off by random advertisements.  This podcast was very enjoyable and convenient.  I never knew that Kevin Hart had a podcast, but I’m going to download them via iTunes and just listen to them wherever and whenever.  It was a great experience.

Podcasts vs Traditional Radio

Omelete Nights
Episode #45 - 35:56”
This podcast is different from traditional radio for many reasons.
First because it has no commercials.
Second because they don’t have a constant time period/limit.
Third because they are allowed to curse, and they do it a lot. They have a very friendly conversation with each other, it’s not a radio show, it’s a friends conversation.
And fourth because the topics are super random and sometimes nonsense. On this episode they talked about body membranes, band-aids, politics, voice over, the colossal squid, and the movie Ant-Man.
They are a website about entertainment, and mainly “geek” subjects like, comic books, video games, and movies. Even though, on this podcast, the least talked subject was the movie Ant-man. But I still loved the episode, they are always funny and they make every topic enjoyable, even politics, which I hate.
One similarity with traditional radio I think it’s that the podcast is as “professionally” recorded as a radio show would be, the quality is great and they even have a short introduction with music at the beginning.

S04E18 - Terminator Genisys Review - 26:58”
This podcast is different from traditional radio for many of the same reasons as the last one.
There is no commercial.
They curse a lot in it, and they talk the way they want during the program. One interrupts the other, they discuss things in a kind of messy way, and everybody gives their opinion even though some of they are nonsense. It’s like just listening to friends talk about something, it’s a very “personal” type of conversation.
Again, the time of the show is not “conventional” like a radio show.
Another difference from a traditional radio show is that the topic is very specific, something that we would never find in a traditional radio show.
I like this episode because they gave MANY different views and opinions about the movie, conspiracies, and assumptions. They gave a great review because I’m sure that anybody would agree with them in at least one point.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
The Giant Foam Finger: Is Winning Everything? - 10:41”
This podcast also differentiate from traditional radio because the use of curse language.
There are no commercials in this podcast either.
It has a “weird” time period of 10 minutes, which is not common on radio shows.
They talk about a specific topics during the whole time, which is also something not usually done on traditional radio shows.
It also differentiate from traditional radio because of the fact that it is not live.
Different from a traditional radio show, I bet that this podcast was not expensive to be produced, there are only two guys talking about a topic during 10 minutes. The quality is good but nowadays we don’t need a lot of expensive tools to have a good quality recording.

PODCAST.

Fitness & Health:

The title of this podcast was “sitting is killing you (even if you’re a runner)”.  The podcast is somewhat like traditional radio because when I listened to this podcast I was actually at the gym and looked it up and listened so the portability is great.  It was clear like the radio I listen to in my car.  Whats not the same was that this particular podcast didn't have commercials like radio and the guys who made this are having a regular conversation about sitting down is killing people and its so natural and not scripted. What I liked about this podcast is that the two guys were giving advise of what to change up in your daily routine so that you aren’t sitting as much.  For instance, a fun fact that really caught my eye was the average american spends 13 hours sitting, does not include sleep time.  I work out everyday and am on a diet so I didn't know that; I thought it was interesting. 


Makeup:

The title of this podcast was “How to cover a zit: Better than a celebrity makeup artist”.  This podcast had a narrator at the beginning introducing this specific makeup artist named Anne Kibler, which reminded me how old traditional radio was where they properly introduced the person who was going to speak.  What wasn’t the same as radio was the fact that makeup gurus or artist aren't really famous in radio so the fact she has her podcast speaking about her makeup tips for people to listen too is awesome, this podcast didn't have any commercials.  What I didn't like was the run time, I wanted there to be more but thats good because it makes you want to subscribe to the podcast and keep listening for updates. 


Fashion:


The title of this podcast was “NYFW, Kanye’s fashion show, dealing with Criticism”.  What was similar about this podcast to radio was the conversations between both hosts where you’d here on live radio.  This two (Lisa and Kaarin) Speak about New York’s fashion week and trends they like and what others liked, Kanye’s show being late and peoples reaction to it, What wasn't like tradition radio was the fact that its too opinionated again no commercials, they can say what ever they want and aren't restricted and can be however long they want. 

Podcast Assignment by Sean Browne Sports Radio vs. Sports Podcast

Podcast Assignment

Podcast #1:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bill-simmons-podcast/id1043699613?mt=2

The first podcast that I listened to was the Bill Simmons Podcast hosted of course by Bill Simmons. I watched the eighth episode where Bill and his co-host Cousin Sal discuss week five of the NFL, and look ahead to week six of the NFL and make their picks on those games.
 Since Bill was on Radio for along time so his podcast definitely felt like a radio show. He did not curse at all, I probable suspect that he likes to maintain on image of not swearing so his audience will see him in a lighter sense. Also, throughout this podcast Bill was taking breaks from his sports perspectives to take advertisement messages. My guess is Bill wants to profit of his podcast show just like he would for a radio show so he does advertisement breaks.
 What I liked about this podcast was that it catered to my time needs. I was able to listen to it Thursday night while doing my homework. I downloaded this podcast to my I pod and listened to it. I could not do that if it were radio, if Bill was on at four I would have to tune in at four to listen or else I was out of luck! What I did not like was that since it was a podcast the opinion of the listeners could not be heard. Usually during radio a fan has the ability to call in the show and share his perspective, but that was not the case since this is just a podcast

Podcast #2
 http://www.foxsports.com/watch/garbage-time-with-katie-nolan/story/welcome-to-the-garbage-time-podcast-with-katie-nolan-101415  

Next, I picked another sports podcast hosted by Katie Nolan called Gar badge Time with Katie Nolan. This podcast was definitely more edgier than Bill's podcast. I presume it was because she was not really a household name like Bill Simmons. Katie frequently said words like "shit" and fuck". I have no problem with it because there is no FCC regulation so although it was unusual for me to hear a sports personality swear, it did not bother me.
So with that being said, Katie's personality is what drew me to this podcast. I loved how see made these dirty jokes and used profanity. It gave this show an edge and that would not be the case if it were on TV or radio, and I can say this because Katie is on TV for Fox Sports and she was no where near as edgy on her TV show as she is on her podcast. But her show format could also be used as a negative. I think that Katie was trying to make too many jokes and have too much fun with her freedom that she kind of diverged from sports talk and that bothered me a lot because  that was the main reason I tuned in. So in the future she needs to do a better job trying to find a medium.
Podcast #3
http://www.foxsportsradio.com/onair/the-herd-w-colin-cowherd-56804/

My final Podcast was the Herd with Colin Cowherd. This was a podcast that is a repetition of Colin's sports radio show. So it definitely felt like a radio show because indeed it was a radio show. Colin's show had guest voice their opinions and Colin took advertisement breaks on air so this was a radio broadcast in the form of a podcast.
What I loved the most was I was able to "cheat the system", and by that I mean since this was a podcast I did not have to listen to any commercials that I would have to listen to if I were listening in my car, so that was definitely cool. But I do wish that this show was longer, Colin had time restraints because it was a radio show, if it were a straight on podcast he could go on for a much longer time

Randy Moran Podcast Assignment

Thrilling Adventure Hour

The Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast is a comedic stage show and podcast in the form of old time radio which gives it the convenient appeal of a podcast while keeping many of the qualities found on radio, such as (fake) advertisements. While many podcasts have a cult following, this one in particular has been gaining popularity and growing past its usual live audience by extending itself to the podcast world instead of just starting off there. The Thrilling Adventure Hour attempts to capture its charm as a live show in an hour of audio that can be streamed or downloaded by anyone willing to give it a chance. For this reason alone does podcast have an upper hand against radio broadcasting. Anyone can listen to this broadcast at their convenience as opposed to listening to a live radio show at specific times of the day. This is the same reason why Netflix became so popular; it appealed to everybody's need for instant gratification. 


Most radio shows will have celebrity interviews or special guest which is a queue that podcasts have taken giving them some distinct similarities. WTF with Marc Maron contributes to this parallel between the two industries but in a way that many radio or podcast hosts can't deliver. Although it is a bit more difficult to create such a strong and intimate relationship with audiences without the use of live interactivity that radio offers, Maron shows people that it is possible. "Whether digging in the dirt or allowing room to reveal themselves, Maron innately knows how to move a converstion along better than anyone else." 


Some names stick out more than others in the world of digital audio files and one of those names is Joe Rogan. Many know him from the show Fear Factor, his comedy stand-up specials, or as a UFC commentator but not many realize he is also a podcaster. Having such a wide audience definitely helps in gaining popularity in other aspects of entertainment which is what made this particular podcast so interesting. Not only do you get to listen to someone outside of what is expected of him, Joe Rogan posts podcasts where he can talk about all sorts of topics; anything he wants really. That's something many wouldn't be able to accomplish on radio because of the limitations. Another thing that caught my attention was the fact that this podcast had video to go along with it. Of course, video isn't necessary but it offers something radio also can't. If you just want to listen to Joe Rogan go on tangents while on the drive to work or watch him while lounging at home, this podcast offers a variation to the usual forms of media.

PODCAST


The Tao of Self Confidence   (ITUNES)
1. The first Podcast I listened to was about how to turn your struggles into your success. It talks about ladies who are trying to find their self confidence they are on a journey. Each of the episodes talks about how someone discovered their "AHA" moment.
I really liked this podcast. This was very interesting to listen to and what made it so much more interesting was how much I can relate to what is being discussed. I also really like how they talk about real stories from real life people it makes it 100 times better to listen to. It makes you realize other people are dealing with the similar situations. It goes on to discuss  "Your struggles are your success." Whatever you go through you will get out of the situation eventually and you have to have confidence in order to succeed and get over things.
This reminded me of the radio station because it is someone who is telling their stories and being interviewed , it is very similar. I really enjoyed listening to this. It was my first time ever listening to a podcast.  This differs from radio because the length is not variable its not a requirement. The podcast was very lengthy. It kind of reminded me of a "minishow."

2. Is Going to College Worth it? 
This podcast talks about generation debt. Talks about how many people think of college as a ticket to a solid stable middle class life. The whole idea is how people think just because you get your degree you will be succesful. A lot of people are questing college.
68% percent of people come out of college with no degree but they owe a lot of debt. The cost of college tuition has been growing.
I enjoyed this podcast. There was a lot of information and facts. It is similar to the radio,  because it is someone being interviewed. It is also different beacuse it is very lengthy. As for an interview on the radio it could be a couple of minutes and this podcast goes on for fifty three minutes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMAm2u_J50g

Crime 
3. This is a podcast about crime. It is stories about people who have done wrong,  and been wronged or even got caught somewhere in the middle. In this episode Patti is telling her story. Patti was assaulted in her house , whoever assaulted her gave her a black eye and broke her teeth.
The officer locked up Patti saying that she was the one who committed the crime. She gets locked up and what makes it worse is Patti was a transgender woman and when she got locked up she was to be put into the male cell.

This did not remind me of the radio at all. This reminded me of a tv show just with no video. It told a story.

Assignment #3 - Survey of 3 Podcasts.

Statcast 

Statcast is a podcast from MLB.com. What makes this different from other podcasts is that people who want to hear it need to click then downloaded and then sign in with an account, which takes time. These podcast also cost money and are very expensive.  What sets them apart from the other podcast also is that it’s not from a show on TV or radio. Statcast is an online only podcast. Unlike traditional podcasts they are not on every day and there are no commercials in this podcast.

Statcast dives right into the story with no intro or build up. This is unlike traditional broadcasting because of the lack of intro to the programs.  Listeners do not call in with questions.  They just take tweets and then talk about the topic.

This podcast is not live, another way that podcasts are usually unlike traditional broadcasting.  They also typically sign on and just go straight to the show without any build up or excitement.  The episode I was listening to was dry since there were no features and lacked insight on the show topics. When you listen to a podcast it doesn’t have the same feel as does a typical radio program.  I liked that in this episode that they where covering key stories.  I don’t like that it goes too fast without dialog or build up like in real radio.


###

MSNBC TV and News

The podcasts from MSNBC TV and News aren’t as long in length as a typical podcast episode.   These are short episodes, with only one version.  You have to visualize the show without seeing it. No interviews are heard just the clip from the program.  This takes a TV clip and makes a podcast of it.  The viewers have to see with their mind.

It’s unlike traditional radio, here the viewer or browser selects particular episodes from various MSNBC TV shows.  The viewer can select the format, such as iTunes, and if they want the video or audio only version.

Most podcasts are a little longer in length than just one audio clip since a short podcast is not enough to satisfy the listeners.  Listeners to a podcast need to have the main show then have it divided into segments and interviews.  The viewers need more from a program instead of a clip from what listeners have been used to before.  This podcast is a little longer in length. It comes in two feeds, TV and radio. Viewers need to decide on one. I don’t like the length of the podcast. I feel as if the podcast should be longer and give the audience more to listen to in the program.


###

ESPN Sporting Life

The Sporting Life podcast is a pre-recorded podcast. The podcasts are weekly episodes of The Sporting Life show and features “the best of” moments.  They cut out certain parts of the live show to speed it up.

A podcast can be listened to at anytime. Listener’s get to what the show is about right away.  In a regular radio program you getting everything from start to finish.  People can go online and listen to a podcast at anytime and listen to their favorite episode for as long as it’s online. These podcasts do not have the radio introduction material.  They go straight into the program that is on that day. They cut out interviews and get to the highlights. Podcasts make a show go faster than the length of a typical radio program. What I like about podcasts is getting to the main stories that are covered right away without an introduction. These podcast are not live and spend little time on one segment before going on to the next one very quickly.

Lisa Hammarlund Poadcast Assignment

1.)  The first Podcast I viewed/ listened too was about celebrity gossip and how the Real Housewives star Bethany Frankel gets a starter ring.  
I liked this Podcast because not only do I have an Interest in celebrity gossip I am also familiar with Bethany Frankel. This Podcast Was short but to the point they dove right in and discussed what I wanted to hear. I also liked how the Podcast did not have a serious tone to it, I feel that sometimes when listening to traditional broadcasts they can be very serious and it makes me loose Interest. 
Aside from being more casual and relax this poadcast was different from a traditional broadcast because it included a video and real life images of the celebrities. 
http://celebritybuzz.lifetime.libsynpro.com/rss  

2.) The second podcast I listened too was about Fashion and Beauty brands and how they give back. The first thing a got my attention for this podcast was that the woman who was speaking is the Style Director for OK Magazine. I also choose this podcast because I am always looking for different ways to find out more fashion and beauty tips. This made me want to listen to the podcast because I am a lover of fashion and beauty and have read OK magazine for years. I liked how she explained each brand and product in detail and before listening to this Poadcast I had no idea that these major brands gave back. I felt this podcast has a very broad audience it could cater to do to the information within in it. I felt having a wide audiance was something that I liked because many broadcasts only cater to a small audience.  
This podcast could be similar and comparable to a traditional radio broadcast because the girl works for a magazine so they have a more wide spread way of reaching to the public.  
http://feeds.feedburner.com/Lifeminute-BeautyAndFashionPodcast  

3.) The third podcast I choose was about traveling. I enjoy traveling and going to different destinations so when I come across tips on how to be a better traveler or how to pack better I like to read them. In this podcast  they discussed different places to go and some tips to know before booking the flight. I liked how there was two speakers in this podcast which I felt made it more interesting to the listener. Another thing I liked was how they included information about their up and coming app. I liked this because the people who listen to their podcast and enjoy it will probably look into downloading their app. The speakers included useful information that I felt can help with traveling better and safer. 
I feel that this podcast can be similar to a traditional radio broadcast because of the way the speakers approached the topics and the way the spoke. This had a more serious broadcast tone where as for the others I felt they were more relaxed and casual.

Renno Jeon Assignment #3

http://www.npr.org/podcasts/510200/storycorps

This is a radio program by NPR, called Storycorps recording lives of every day people across the country. This story is about 3 minutes long but, in the podcast, it's about 7 and a half minutes. Though they both are quite similar in terms of formats, I can learn more about the story in detail because of the fact that podcasts are not hindered by time constraints. I get to know, in this story, not only what kind of person the hijacker was and how it all began and the impact on people that the pilot and hijacker left behind.

I like this podcast because I enjoy listening to NPR, especially Storycorps when driving. And once in a while, there comes a story that touches my heart and gets me wondering more about the story like this podcast did that to me. So with this podcast, I got a little bit of understanding of people with mental illness and learned the untold story on the radio.


https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/david-sedaris-meet-the-author/id674095278?i=162622430&mt=2

It sounds a lot like traditional radio broadcasting because, the formats, in my opinion, are the same aside from the fact that podcasts have more freedom and no time limit. Yet, since podcasts are archived so we can access it at any time. there seems no or a lot less strict regulations on podcasts so this podcast somewhat gives me a feeling that I am there listening to their casual conversation.

I like this podcast too because I like the author David Sedaris because I read one of his books this summer and found him really witty and hilarious and I always knew that he sometimes appears on NPR but I never had a chance to listen to him live but this podcast always waits here for me, not like I have to wait there for him to come on air. Plus they are not chasing time, I like him being able to elaborate on whatever he is answering the questions.



http://www.mydamnchannel.com/wtf/wtf_podcasts/chrisrock_7902

Because this is a podcast, the conversation is quite informal and there is no regulation. there are a lot of curse words coming out let alone the F-word. This segment would never ever go over the air if they were on traditional radio.

Chris Rock is one of my favorite comedians and sometimes he comes on the radio. With the regulations that restrain him from cursing, he is not the Chris Rock on the radio that I know. but in this podcast where he's free to say whatever is in his mind, I can tell that he is being himself and this is the guy that I know.
