Hmk Podcast Reflection Essay

Our podcast is one of very few words. Random. Humor. Why? Our audience is bascially open to the public as a whole, but it can be narrowed down to teenager based. Most teens (especially Hig School students) are the most assistant listeners in this procces. Teens are more receptive and find (frankly) pretty retarded things funny. Even when it comes to hurtful things, being imature, content which is imature, is hilarious. Though some of the content in our podcast is,in fact, a little imature, but the message wasn't. We meant to have fun and to random speak our minds...as a fact, we had nothing on our minds when we recorded it. As much as I wanted our audience to be more college based, I don't think it would happen. College students love random, and funny, but their funny is a little more normal then that of a High School student.
     Would our audience be interested in our podcast? To be 100% honest with you, I don't think so. It's a general podcast, and I think HS students might become bored with it, and think it "lame". College students might not even have the time to listen let alone think it humorous. It is funny, for those who get/appreciate the drift, but I don't know many people who would understand it as a whole. It's very dynamic, we're constantly being inconsistent. Going off topic, and talking about other things, and then after so long we'd go back to the original topic. It was more like taking your files and hitting "Randomize" and watch everything scatter and join together again.
     As for our next episode, I'm not exactly sure. The first topic was Ducks, but our next one might be something even more random. I'd want to do something a little more versital. Something with more edge, and expantion space. I can come up with pretty clean things, quick and fast off my tongue, but when you limit the subject, it gets a little harder. I think we need to open our front door a little more.
     In doing this, I think we should express more jokes, and more personality towards out audience. Expressing more emotion and humor into our voices and our words, telling more stories then one. If anything that I've learned during thid podcast can be laid down in one solid statement: "It's harder then it looks" When I first saw it and recorded it, it went pretty smoothly, then the editing came into play, and we had to redo the thing a bunch of times, and the ultra pain came into play. It was fun, don't take me wrong, but it's something I don't think I'll do again in the near future. My mouth can run faster then my hand, yes, but my hand can simplify things smoother then my mouth, and a lot of people might not understand the reasoning I have behind my words. This statement being "stated" I think our podcast needs a little help, and lot of polishing.
