Learning Objectives
- Apply my knowledge of Adobe 1.5 to edit down my show and touch it up.
- Learn how to upload my podcast on Pod bean and share it on my Facebook and iTunes page.
- Inform people about the decline of discipline shown by professional players.
- Use outside research and resources to support the topics.
- Actively promote and manage my podcast through the use of social media and drive some traffic towards it.
I will apply these objectives to the Program Learning Outcomes. The Program Learning Outcomes are Theory, Content Creation, Create Creation, Critical Thinking, Research, and Global Perspective.
Theory: Being in the radio program here at Dixie, I have to communicate to listeners in St. George and connect with students at Dixie. I'm also on the Cross Country team and have been for the last 4 years. I thought it was fitting to do a sports podcast because I love watching and participating in sports and love voicing my opinions and having conversations with others on the radio. Working in small groups when it comes to pod-casting is essential and can add some great content. Last semester I had a sports show with one of my friends on the radio and it was fantastic because we were able to bounce ideas off each other and it just added a lot of content and can be useful for business. Being able to have enthusiasm during a radio podcast is necessary because people want to hear some excitement in your voice otherwise people will turn the channel.
Content Creation: To reach my audience, I have created a Facebook, Twitter, and iTunes page to follow along with the podcast. To upload my podcast, I will use the application Pod bean to do so and then that will translate it to those various places. This way, it'll be easily accessible to my followers and hopefully it'll be shared beyond that and reach plenty of people. My method will be to inform people about the lack of discipline shown by professional athletes and how that affects the younger generation.
Critical Thinking: I feel like it'll be a challenge doing a solo podcast but I feel like if I have shorter episodes which will be about 15-20 minutes long, it won't drag on and as the show progresses, I'm sure I will find different ways to enhance the shows as time goes on. The problem solving in my opinion will come as my show develops and as I can learn about things to improve my show and this will be updated by the end of the semester.
Research: My research for my sports podcast will come from ESPN primarily to get most of my sports stories because they have more in depth information about athletes rather than scores and statistics. Once I have that, I will boggle down to the main points and that will help me prepare a lot better and offer my opinion and will sometimes bring guests on as well to conduct interviews. My interviews will include local athletes specifically at Dixie State and ask their opinions about the latest controversy going on in the sporting world at that time. For example, the biggest sports story going around is the Colin Kaepernick sitting down during the national anthem because he believes the U.S. is oppressing African Americans.
Global Perspective: Using social media is a perfect way to obtain my content to my audience and having several platforms will be a huge boost because at first I just had a Facebook page but Eric told me to widen my horizon and so that's why I created a Twitter (I don't personally like Twitter) and an iTunes because he told me that would be the easiest way to stream the podcast or download. Facebook and Twitter will specifically give me that voice to express myself and keep my listeners engaged at the same time.
