10. Characteristics of a Good Podcast Think of a good commercial or news-cast Consistent format Even pacing of audio and consistent volume – little use of ahh, umm, ok, like and other distracting audio noices Focused SHORT and organized (2 to 5 minutes) Break into sections with good transitions, and teasers. Topic of interest to listeners

11. Vocabulary Aggregator – browser/player for media RSS – really simple syndication Synchronous/asynchronous

12. Podcasting allows listeners to control: 1. When they listen, 2. Where they listen, 3. How they listen, and 4. What they listen to.

13. Podcasting Characteristics Listeners collect programs from a variety of sources and choose which they want to listen to. This ability to "aggregate" is a major attraction. Services and software that help in this process are called aggregators or "podcatchers." Podcasting is asynchronous; it is not for live events.
