Week Six Forum: Audio upload



Podcast Voki Animated Videocast

I just made a new Voki. See it here:

PodcastAlley.com Versus Podcasts.com

Hola!

PodcastAlley.com (which we'll call PA from here on out) and Podcasts.com (which we'll call PC from here on out) are similar in the fact that they both allow you to search for podcasts that fit into certain genres. It seems like PA has a much larger variety in genres, but the preview aspect of each one is not as defined as it is with PC. PC has less genres to chose from, but whenever you do select a genre, you are able to visually see what the podcast is about making it much more pleasing to the eye and more likely to be chosen over PA.

After searching through the types of podcasts available on each site, I was drawn to those on the PA website more. The music section in PA is more appealing because it generalized music (i.e. world music), rather than making a podcast on one specific artist like PC does.

Podcast Three: Surrounded in Pittsburgh: Steel City Resistance

and for my third podcast choice, I have chosen my other weakness...news. This particular podcast is various news sessions based on a couple of Pittsburgh and Orlando-raised men's thoughts on what the most important news of the day is. If you would listen to said podcast, you would hear a variety of news stories, with the opinions of the two commentators thrown in to spice it up. 

Podcast Two: World Music FM

As I mentioned before, music podcasts are my favorite, so with the second choice, I went for my favorite overarching brand of music a.k.a. the international kind. I am HUGE into foreign artists, so I love, love, love that this podcast helps me expand my knowledge in that area. If you listen to it, you will hear new music, but you will also hear commentary on said music (at least I'm guessing that's what they are talking about. I'm not 100% sure since it's in a foreign language...maybe Italian????).

Anyway, I highly, highly recommend taking a listen, if you are interested in foreign tunes, as well. 

Podcast One: Deep house collective podcast and DJ community | HouseDeelings

Hey everyone!

The first podcast I chose was the deep house collective podcast with a DJ community. I chose it because music podcasts are my favorite type, especially when it comes to music that I like to just sit back and rewind from the day with. If you were to listen to this podcast, you would find yourself immersed in a variety of blue-sy soulful music. Each addition to the podcast is along the same lines, but vary in their exact focus. For instance, the first one listed on my page via RSS feed is for Groovy 90's type of music, while the next is a DJ's choice music for one hour.

Enjoy!
