I had a quick listen to some of these podcasts. What struck me about most of them was that they were over-long. I do not have the time to listen to a 10-minute podcast, let alone a 50-minute one - and I'm sure the students won't either. I would prefer a 2-3 minute soundbite which was very focused on answering my question. If we have longer bits of info to get over, surely there are better ways? Am I missing the point here?
I thought the Glasgow Met podcast about Wikipedia was exactly right. Good use of background music, intereresting and natural voice speaking at a good pace, very focussed info about the pluses and minuses of Wikipedia. Focused, lively, and short. Curtin's podcast was over-slow and too long. Speaker's voice was clearly reading from a script, with odd voice modulation - sounded false. Talis - didn't even go there - 50 minutes? Forget it. I tried the 'Learning to Speak: Creating a Library Podcast With a Unique Voice' from the higheredblogcon site. Problem here was that the speaker had such a boring flat voice I couldn't stick with it. All these reasons may sound rather frivolous, but if we don't make podcasts attractive and easy to listen to, people won't bother with them. |

Impressed with Curtin Uni Library's podcast - very clear if a bit bland perhaps. Glasgow's approach is more entertaining - electro-dance music plays in the background. This might distract as many people as it attaracts - although I know that a lot of people work with music /tele. If we opt for a soundtrack, maybe something less frantic (indiction week: think hangovers & general bewilderment). No Peruvian pipes or whale noises though please.
