2016 Intensives - Student-cREATED pODCASTS
Welcome to the Take My Word For It Intensive! Podcasting is a form of audio broadcasting on the Internet. The reason it became linked with the iPod in name was because people download the broadcasts (audio shows) to listen to on their iPods. However, you do not have to listen to podcasts only on iPods; you can use your computer with some music software or your smartphone. In Take My Word For It, we analyzed podcast as a genre. As a part of this process we designed our own podcasts based on our own topics. The podcasts are amazing! Take my word for it!
