Deconstruct a Podcast

Put your new knowledge to work by analyzing a real podcast episode.

Activity

Watch or listen to a full podcast episode, but not just as a consumer. This time, you’re listening as a creator. Answer the questions below:


  1. What podcast episode did you pick?

  2. How did you consume it? Using what service (for example: Video, YouTube)? Provide a link.

  3. Who were the people on mic and/or camera?

  4. What is the format of the podcast (interview, narrative, or chat)?

  5. Who is the intended audience?

  6. How does the episode begin? Is there a hook? Teaser?

  7. How does the episode end? Does the host have a sign off? 

  8. How are music and sound used throughout?

  9. What is one good thing about the podcast and why?

  10. What is one thing that you would have done differently? How would you have changed that piece?
