Assignment 7

Using the criteria in Adam Bennington article, the podcast done by Oertelt was well done. First off the podcast was associated with a school and the speaker had first hand accounts of the events being described. Thus making him very reputable on the subject. Also the podcast clearly accompanied a credible web site and the host was clearly identified on the site and podcast. The podcast also used citation from the book An Unbroken Chain with straight readings from it. In addition the host can be contacted and the show was released on a regular basis. The podcast was also easy to access and the audio quality was excellent. Finally the podcast was easy to acquire from the website as well as a few podcast searching engines.

Of the three podcast directories provided I found that podcastalley.com was the easiest to use and had the podcasts I actually listen too. All had basic same search tools but this website had the search results I was looking for.

Currently none of my professors at SCSU use podcasts in their classes but I do have friends that do and they find that they are average.
