Podcast Essay

     I am making a podcast called, "The Dealio", with my friends Kahari, Kayla, Hannah, and Quin. It is a comedy podcast that is geared towards people of almost any age who like comedy. Although some people might be a little young for some of the humor, it is not age-specific. I think that the audience for "The Dealio" would be interested in the podcast since it is targeted toward people who like comedy.
    
     Our podcast would be put out on a weekly basis because with comedy it's fairly easy to come up with new materials regularly. Also, people would most likely subscribe to it on a weekly basis because there is always fresh information or material for comedy. The technical term in this instance for fresh information or material is dynamic. Comedy is dynamic because there is always something new to add or do for it.

     In the next episode of "The Dealio", the different segments will be the same but in a different order. Also, the information will be different for each segment and there will possibly be an email segment at the end. There will be different news, another debate, and the advice will change as well. Otherwise, the podcast will still have the same types of information.

     Everything went really well in the making of the podcast, and it was very fun! One thing that worked really well was having more of an outline for our podcast instead of a complete script. Improvisation and pure randomness really helps make what's being said funny. The editing is somewhat difficult with a group, though. When things are being cut out and graphics and music are being put in it's fine, but sometimes when it comes to fine tuning it it turns into a one person job.

     Something important that I learned about podcasting is that Garage Band is the program to use to edit a podcast. I'm sure there are other ways, but in my opinion Garage Band is the best. "The Dealio" was really fun to make with my friends. It's really fun to make a comedy podcast with friends, but it's even more fun to make it so that others can enjoy it too.
