Podcasts From Last Semester

The first podcast I listened to was entitled Watchers and Listeners - How Do We Respond? I thought this was a good podcast. Although one of the speakers did not seem to be as prepared as the other two. There were lots of awkward pauses and seemed a little lacking in content knowledge.



I liked how all of the speakers interacted. Everyone seemed to speak clearly and for the most part stay on topic. What I am going to take from this podcast is to make sure to "do my homework" and make sure that I have clear and precise notes to ensure that I do not get off topic. I can imagine that it may difficult when feeding off of one another to remain focused on what the podcast is to be on.

The second podcast I listen to was What I Learned From Randy Pausch's Last Lecture I felt that this podcast was much more organized. It seemed to me that the speakers of this podcast were much more into the topic. There were only a couple awkward pauses, which I believe is to be expected. Also, this group used more humor that the initial group I listened to.



After watching Randy's last lecture I can understand why the speakers were so enthralled with the topic. Randy was a wonderful speaker and I believe he would excite whomever his audience was. So, an improvement that I will keep in mind will be to make sure that the topic of discussion will be one that touches me or that I feel strongly about. Following is the video of Randy Pausch's last lecture. Please take the time to watch.
