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.
