A.4 Strategy 3: Words, Words, Words Demo

A. Podcast Words of Wisdom

B. Words, Words, Words

Words and sound choice are important to a podcast since they are the only way for the podcaster to convey their message.  Think about how this is different from, say, a picture book where both the words and pictures convey meaning. 


Podcasters carefully choose words to get their message across.

 

A podcast can be informational, but a podcaster also brings their personality into the recording.  You want your podcast to:

be informative

be accurate

represent you

When we think about word choice, the podcaster is taking all of these things into consideration!
