The first podcast I listened to was titled Kidcast. This postcast was done as a radio broadcast. The lady on the radio talk show interviewed a first grader on his first day of school. She asked him many questions such as, how was your first day, what did you learn, did you make any new friends, do you think you will like your teacher, and what they did today in class? She also interviewed a student on his first day as a 6th grader. He talked about using lockers, and meeting 2 new students.

The next podcast I listened to was titled MacBreak Weekly. This podcast was done as an episode you can view and listen to from your computer while at work from MacBreak.com. On this particualar episode they opened up talking about the big win for the Steelers in the Super Bowl. Then as they introduced the other people on the show they put jingles to go along with names. These jingles were funny, and would give anyone a good laugh while doing stressful work in the office.

This Week In Photography is also a podcast done as an episode. This podcast internviewed more people. They started by asking them where they were then began talking about where they were. One interviewer said he was in new york and talked about the rising costs of living in new york,another was from virginia and talked about how he had power and that the weather brought ice, not snow like he wanted. This podcast is more designed as a live chat, where people talk about their surroundings and what they can photograph from there.

EdTechTalk is a podcast that talks about exactly what its title is-educational tech talk. Here teachers are interviewed and can be listened to through YouStream. This podcast is setup as a converstation between listeners, teachers, and people in the chatrooms. Everyone can tune in on the discussion . This particualar converstation was about Edcon, on Feburary 1st of 2009. This podcast does a good job of grabbing your attention right away by having rock music playing when you open it.
