Podcast guidelines for production
Let's get some thoughts down for our podcast guidelines:
Podcasts should be:
Podcasts should be:
- Short (2-3 minutes)
- Different voices on each podcast
- Voices which are natural, interesting, like normal speech
- Get pace of speaking right - not too slow, not too fast.
- Music?
- English only for the time being
- No podcasting for podcastings sake - what information would be best presented in this format?
- Focused answers to FAQs
- Done as interviews?

Music
I like the idea of having a bit of music as an intro but found music throughout the broadcasts distracting. Talis' broadcasts sounded like a murder mystery! Voices Wow, what a difference between the effect of different people's voices! I agree we should test out each volunteer's voice for suitability. Colloquial and chatty is definately the way to go. It was also nice to hear a variety of people on different podcasts. Using snippets of interviews was quite effective too. This might work well with things to do with SLs? Audio tours The provision of a numbered map was a really good idea (see Curtin Uni) to ensure the tour is as clear as poss. I think we should avoid opening times though. Curtin started their library tour with this; what a way to put someone off! It won't be remembered either. I think its a prime example of information that is better placed in another format, i.e. visually. I also thought Curtin's long list of podcasts is quite off-putting. Much better to integrate them in the relevant area on the webpages or the induction (are we putting them in both?) and to consider a 'list' as a sort of supplementary index. |

I agree, some intro and concluding music would really help bring a podcast together. I'm wondering if we can use something from the public domain, perhaps with a creative commons licence, acknowledging the creator as required. Look at http://creativecommons.org/find/ for ideas...

Music would make the podcasts sound more professional and could help break up long sections of speech, but where would we get this music from? Would it be produced in house? Buying it in might prove to be expensive as would we not technically be "broadcasting" it? Would this require extra permission/payment due to copyright?
