Podcast Critiques

The first podcast is by ESPN's Buster Olney who leads the baseball discussion from Thursday September 12 2013.  http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=9665038&s=espn

A little background information:  This baseball show goes live at 8AM every Monday through Friday. The show goes for about an hour. I picked this one because I love the sport of baseball and the talk of the sport.

Every show starts off with a "this day in baseball history", which is very informative and interesting. This broadcast talked about how the batting helmets were first introduced on this day back in 1952. I really like how they start off with this section. This keeps you listening and engaged to the show.

Later on in the show, they talk about Derek Jeter from the New York Yankees. Olney gives us information on  Jeter and then we hear an interview with him. He talks about why he hasn't played for the Yankees that much this year due to an injury. I like how Olney can get interviews with the baseball players to help with his story and to carry it on to make it worth listening.

There are also other live interviews conducted by Olney including, baseball analysts which helps make the show more informative.

Overall- If you are a baseball fan, you will enjoy this show. It talks all about baseball and how the teams are currently doing in their divisions. Olney also talks about different player in every show and conducts interviews with the players, past and present. I will definitely continue listening to this podcast. I have not downloaded it on any device yet but I will soon.

The second podcast is "Get fit Guide" which offers tips on how to get fit fast and easy. This aired on September 9, 2013.

A little background information: This show comes out with one new episode about every week or two. Each show is anywhere between 8 and 12 minutes. I picked this because it looked interesting.

This particular show talked about how to not drink a lot of caffeine and stay away from moldy food. As well as different smells which cold cause "brain fog" and toxic your brain.

I liked how the host of this talk show kept throwing out different random facts that would help you gain muscle and get in shape. It is very informational. However, I believe each episode should be a little longer, this way the show can slow down. Since the show is only 10 minutes long, it throws out facts really quickly. Also, the host has a big vocabulary. Most of the words he said, I didn't understand. He should explain what each word means.

I don't think I will continue listening to this podcast. Although it is interesting, I don't think it is for me. However, if you are a big work-out person, you would like this. I have not downloaded this on any device and I don't plan to.
