Good Podcast Example

The podcast that I chose is from The New Yorker. It is a weekly podcast titled, “The Outloud Podcast.” This podcast in particular is about the rise of “K-POP” (Korean pop music) in America. It is a fifteen-minute podcast. It starts off with a few brief discussion about the top stories in The New Yorker then it moves on to the primary podcast topic, “K-POP.” I think that this is a wonderful example of an entertaining, fun and informative podcast. John Seabrook delves into the heart of K-POP in the podcast by discussing all aspects of the music and what makes it unique. When I listened I was constantly engaged while still gathering all the facts about the story. It was like I was hearing a story from a friend, not listening to an entertainment news story. Lots of sound effects, ambient noises and interviews are used to keep the listener captivated throughout the entire podcast. It is a perfect blend of them all. All of the above factors are reasons why I think this is a great podcast.
