Project 6 - Evaluation

1. Audio Evaluation

2. Production Process Evaluation

3. Research
• I researched into Podcast that I have watched and enjoyed previously, as
well as popular podcasts on Spotify and the genre's that they are related
to (Misfit's podcast & Joe Rogan Podcast).
• I then started theorising what I could do for my project. Such as a podcast
where we talk about a certain topics or a podcast where we talk about
what we want to talk about. I decided in the end to try and keep it similar
to the Misfits podcast, in which they have a topic they talk about, but they
also talk about other things that have happened and other story's that
have gone on (Like road trips that they have done and other story's)
• I found out that all the podcast that are popular that they all talk about
celebrity news and other on-going world-wide news. And other genres
don’t do as well as the mainstream stuff.

4. Planning
• I had no real idea what I wanted to base the podcast off until my friend
Wesley got a new desk (and wouldn't shut up about it), so I decided that I
should make a podcast on the desk and maybe other things, we talk about
such as announcements from the prime minister and news such as natural
events and 'interviews'.
• I thought it could be something fun to do because it’s a free style talk and
not something that is scripted and has planned responses to them. I also
thought it could be more fun and interesting as we would also add jokes
into the Podcast.

5. Time Management
• I managed my time the best I could, I planned everything for the podcast
on Monday (9:00 to 16:30) and I recorded and edited it on Wednesday
(after college 17:00 to 23:30).
• On Monday I spent the day (9:00-16:30) planning on what I'm going to say
during the podcast and what the primary target to talk about on the
podcast, as well as making back up plans if I don't have enough recorded
and set-up the recording ready for later in the day.
• On Wednesday I spent the beginning of the day finishing the last bits on
planning for the recording I did. And in the evening, I spent 3 hours
recording the podcast to make sure I had enough conversation for a
decently long podcast, and I spent 2 hours editing the podcast trimming
down into an evening with us talking about topics we care about.

6. Technical Qualities
• I based the idea of my podcast of another podcast called 'Misfits' as it a
podcast where it's has multiple stories that a told throughout the whole
podcast. As well as with a lot of comedic parts throughout the whole
podcast. I will change the topic from being stories that are being told to
talks about topics that we care for or have strong opinions on, such as
games/films/TV shows and other topics like that (For example,
Sinatra getting banned from playing games because of old accusations of
him being sexually abusive despite the accusations being false and other
news like that).

7. Aural Qualities
• I like the fact that with the work I was able to create and talk about
whatever I want to talk about on the podcast I think I could improve it if
the topic we talked about something that I had knowlage on, because
most of the people who took part in the convosation knew what they
we're on about except 2 of us. Meaning that we could not input
information or comment on what was being said.
• I think the strength of it is the opinion of the people on the show is able to
be said and that I have freedom to create/talk about whatever I want to
talk about
• I think the weakness is sometime when certain topics are being talked
about, I would not be able to put input anything or that certain people
during certain topics.

8. Audience Appeal
• I made this appealing to the target audience of teenagers by talking about
topics they might have interest in such as news and other activates. I
intended to have the podcast as a comedy/news talk show. It would be a
talk show where a group of friends talk about problems

9. Peer
Feedback

10. Feedback 1
• What did you like about the product?
– I like the fact that it talked about good shows and that it also
recommends shows similar to that or shows that the people talking on
the show care about and what they recommended
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
– I would have talked about more shows as well as what they thought on
it, what they like and what they dislike as well as why they do/do not
like the show (reason why)

11. Feedback 2
• What did you like about the product?
– I did not like the product because I do not like the topic that they talk
about, therefore I do not find the podcast interesting and that I would
not watch it
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
– I would maybe talk about other topics and what a general audience
may care about such as music and films/tv shows. Maybe even video
games. I also think that some of the audio could have been improved
since we can sometimes hear certain nosies that should not be heard

12. Feedback 3
• What did you like about the product?
– I liked how everything that was said between friends and that even
though they are all good friends they still have different belifs on
certain topics, as well as recommending each other shows that the
friends may enjoy and start watching
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
– I would have talked about more; I enjoy listening to the friends talk
and I reckon they have fun talking about shows as well as films and
video games which may give us an insight on what they believe of
certain topics of shows and other things

13. Peer Feedback Summary
• What do you agree with from your peer
feedback?
– I agree that we should have talked about more and that we should
have talked about multiple topics and given more of an opinion on the
topics we talk about
• What do you disagree with from your peer
feedback?
– I think that have episodes based on one topic would be better as it
means that people can pick and choose what they want to listen to
and meaning they are not forced to listen to topics that they don't
want to listen to before listening to the thing they want to talk about

14. Peer Feedback Summary
– I would create a longer video where we make more jokes
and give more opinions/recommendation on things we
have watched and read/played. I would also maybe talk
about certain parts of the topics more in detail such as
certain shows and why we like/dislike them and if we
recommend it or not
