I listened to a discussion by Sara Large and Tina Dillen about the use of technology in USA's College of Education. They covered several topics, including the use of Foliotek and the USA Online eCompanion site. I thought they put together a very informative segment and did a great job.
The second podcast I listened to was Adrienne Lynch, Joylyn Reese and Brian Stevens' discussion of the use of You Tube for Educational purposes. They also seemed to have researched their topic well and brought up many good points regarding pros and cons.
After listening to these examples and comparing them to the more experienced podcasters, while both were informative, the experienced discussion flowed more smoothly and resembled an actual conversation. I think the participants need to talk to each other, as they would in a normal conversation, rather than a rehearsed speech.
Preparation seems to be the key, but in a sense that you are familiar with your subject so you freely contribute to the conversation. I also noticed that we need to watch the filler words such as 'um' and 'uh'.
Overall, I think they did a good job.
