Plethora of podcast topics!

It was great to see the gambit of diverse topics podcasted on podcast.com. Even when I limited my search to education I still had a multitude of podcasts to choose from. Of the podcasts that I listened to, the ones that I appreciated the most included a sort of verbal table of contents. I think that one of the most important design tools for me besides an interesting topic is an introduction. The four things that I think a good podcast needs are: an interesting topic, an introduction, steady and clear speech, and a summary or closing. One of the podcasts that I listened to was about 8 minutes and I appreciated the way the narrator would briefly mention what would happen next, creating a segue between the points being made.
