The first slideshow I looked at had no music. It's from National Geographic and is all about traveling to Morocco. The slideshow was pretty simple, a lot of pictures of the photographer and the lady he was traveling with. Although it didn't have music, it was still entertaining because of the incredible quality of the photos.
The second slideshow with music was amazing. It is all stills of someone skiing down the slopes in Steamboat Springs. They must have used a helmet cam. You can tell a lot of work went into the final project. The music really helped string all the pictures together as well.
Last, but not least, is the photo gallery. I chose one on the Oscars. There are many on this website and they are all fabulous.

Podcasting Experience
I have to admit that I actually enjoyed making the podcast. It was very natural to sit at a desk and just talk. We all met down in the News 7 station and sat around the anchor desk. Before we started we went over all of the points that we wanted to cover.
We decided on about eight different awkward moments that we just couldn't pass up and we felt like we could hit the ten minute mark. When we were ready we got our selves together and hit record.
Before we knew it we had talked for alomst a half hour and a lot of it was rambling. We knew that we had to do a lot of editting. We did get of topic once and a while but when we did discuss a really funny awkward moment, everyone's comments were hilarious.
The hardest part I think was editting it all together to get down to about six minutes so it wasn't too long. We knew that we didn't want to lose our viewers attention.
Once we editted it on Audacity, we put it up on DivShare and then up on our blogs. Overall I loved the podcast experinence and would totally to it again.

Podcast Idea
Our podcast will be all about awkward moments...which will be pretty easy for me. It will be conversational, funny and entertaining. All four of us will take turns talking and we will branch off eachothers ideas.
It will be sort of scripted but we will try to keep it as natural as possible for your listening pleasure.

Three Podcast Reviews...
Well. Honestly...I've never really listened to podcasts before but from this assignment, I realized that they could be quite useful. Usually when Im doing homework or cleaning my room, I get easily distracted with Facebook or Twitter but not anymore.
Listening to a podcast you get all the information and entertainment while you still have the ability to multitask....it's genius. So here are the podcasts that I subscribed to...and don't judge me on the ones I selected.
The first winner was "Drinking made easy" for obvious reasons. I wanted to see if it would be a joke, or a serious podcast and it turned out to be both. The host, Zane Hamprey, talked about of course drinking games and mixers, but he also interviewed a owner of a restaurant about what kinds of wine goes be with certain foods.
I definitely liked this one, but he did tend to ramble a lot and I found myself fast forwarding a lot and because of that, I wouldn't put it on my iPod.
Winner number two was "How to do everything" which got my attention by it's clever picture of a finger saying step one and the finger pushing a button as step two. This podcast was very funny.
Under the comedy section, the "podcasters" took requests from their listeners and gave them advice to do many things like how to sharpen a disposable razor, how to eat messy food, and even how to get a non-creepy massage.
The part about this podcast that I liked was how they did their titles. They would choose three random words from the podcast...and example would be Massage, Piranhas and Puppies, and then the subtitle would be How to Get a Non-Creepy Massage.
I would totally listen to this again and totally put it on my iPod...totally.
The last and final winner was kinda weird, but I like weird, so just go with it. This one was entitled "Mike and Tom Eat Snacks".
Yup...like I said it was weird. The two comedians did what they said....talked about the snacks they were eating. Episode titles were Pirates Booty, Candy Canes, Guacamole or even Munchkins.
I don't think I would subscribe to this or put it on my iPod. It was a little too out there for me.
All in all, podcasts were pretty cool and I think I found a new way to get my homework done while learning how to get a non-creepy massage.
