I was inspired by different podcasts to eventually wanting to do my own. My inspirations came from the red talk tv , impaulsive podcast and the Joe rogan podcast. On a daily basis ill be watching these podcasts whilst doing things at home but in my mind I always thought that I could do one. Analysing these podcasts gave me an insight on how I wanted to be mine like and how i would speak and deliver a podcast.
•it is more easier for me to do and is very effective.
•Ill say that my strong point is creating a podcast.
• I am very good at creating a podcast Furthermore I believe that there is a lot to be discussed about this topic.
•This topic isn’t boring.
•This topic covers aload of subjects.
•Targeted at the younger generation.
I chose this idea because it is more easier for me to do and is very effective. Ill say that my strong point is creating a podcast. I am very good at creating a podcast. The last time I did a podcast I had done it on mental health and the outcome of that was brilliant, I had done really well and had been given a distinction grade for it.
Doing a podcast on the city of culture and Bradford will be the best option for me , this idea will get me the marks I need to get a good grade and it will also increase my knowledge in many ways. This isnt a idea which will go really bad which is good because ill still be able to get a grade. I have got my teachers opinions on this idea aswell and they approve of it.
I personally think my presentation went very well . I had confidence which was the main thing. I had projected my voice so everyone could understand what I was saying. I didnt have too much information on my presentation because I didnt want to over do it with research , I just wanted to get my idea across to everyone. I kept it simple but effective. I had seperated my slides with different pictures for me to talk to the audience about my idea rather than looking at the slide and talking from what the slide is saying. I had explained why i chose this idea in detail and clarity , I even explained to the audience where id be doing my podcast and what equipment id be using. Even in the feedback they said that I had a very good clear presentation , a strong idea , a very well presented idea , very well organised , research was good.
