Criterion A Investigation

Podcats can be used for anything you want to. You can use them to tell people about your life, about a favorite tv show, book, movie, etc. Anyone who wants to can make a podcast for no reason. They might want to share their feelings about something because they feel bad so they need to talk about it, but they dont have anyone so they just make a podcast. Anyone who is interested in a topic that the podcast is made on can listen to them. They are probably either improvised where the person just starts recording and talking about the topic they chose, or they first plan it all out, maybe write a script and then record. Usually you make an audio and written podcast.
Our task is to create a podcast on adolesence in Mongolia. How it is here and what we do. Its important to learn about podcasting so we know about what mistakes we might do. We listened to a few of our classmates practice podcasts we did over the "break". Anyone can listen to our podcasts. They will probably be uploaded on youtube so anyone outside of the school can listen to them also. I am working with Kyu on this project and we still havent decided our exact topic or anything we want to do.

I only got the chance to listen to one podcast because it was about 90 minutes long. This podcast was just about a few people, i believe it was 3, talking about new music that they absolutely hate. I liked this podcast, because these people were funny, had no problem saying what they want to say and made the whole podcast more enjoyable with their comments about music. I found this on a random website luking up podcast, because when i searched topics that i liked, they never worked so i found a random one. A new podcast comes out once every 2 weeks. Matt, Howie and Bri are the 3 people that recorded this podcast. I forgot to mention that this is also about friends chilling and what they talk about when alcohol is involved. I find it funny listening to drunk people do podcasts.

To record a podcast you can use almost any kind of technology. From a computer to a phone, mp3, ipod, or even a camera. To publish it you can either pick a podcast website, register there, and post the podcast, or you could go on youtube or similar websites and post a video podcast there.
Test
A good test to evaluate this is to post the podcast on a podcast website,youtube or even on facebook, and ask teenagers in mongolia to comment on this saying if they think that the topic, problem or situation is true or not. They should also mention if the sound quality, clarity and things like this were good or bad.
