     Goals In Podcasting

     During today's class, we looked at the "Goals IN podcasts" PowerPoint on google classroom and discussed each goal within our groups, then shared them with the class. The first goal we covered was preparedness and research gathered ahead of time. In the podcast episode I listened to, Music, Movies, And Music In Movies, the people in it came prepared before they went on air because one of them brought up Billboard's article, 50 Best Songs From Movies, and they referenced other films with important musical scores. The second goal we talked about in class, was being able to hold calm conversations with a clear intent. My podcast consisted of a small group of friends who each took turns talking in a civil manner and stayed on the topic of music in media for the remainder of the podcast. The next two goals we talked about were being able ask and reply to questions and different viewpoints with research to either agree or disagree and help to promote the conversation further. In the podcast I listened to, after a person mentioned a film with an influential soundtrack, someone else would comment and give their opinions on it. The final slide we covered in class was about the goal of including diverse media as evidence to support our points and strengthen our ethos. My podcast continued to reference songs mentioned in the article by Billboard and other members of the podcast talked about other movies and television shows with a notable score. Tomorrow we will probably continue talking about the PowerPoint and giving examples of where these goals were accomplished in a number of podcasts. We might also finish working on our PowerPoint slide of our podcasts because we did not have time to get to them today.
     What we learned today in class can be related to the world at large because these nine goals for a podcast can also be applied to any situation involving communication between people. One example of this is the workplace and meetings, since corporation between members of a team/division is essential to finishing projects and improving ideas. Every member needs to review papers or PowerPoint slides to educate themselves on the topic being discussed and their role in the conversation. Additional research should also be conducted for use of evidence or statistics, and show other companies and clients the preparedness of reliability of the company. It is essential that everyone at the table is polite and considerate of other peoples' suggestions because they are not only in a work environment, but also surrounded by others. Members of the group need to be able to bounce ideas off of each other and critique each other to insure the best results possible. In addition to meetings, these goals for podcasting can also be used for other activities like sports teams or students and teachers.
