pod cast research

Research - What to write!

Podcast
Having been given the Podcast assignment you now need to write a detailed research analysis that meets the Grading Criteria.

Make sure that you include ALL of the following points:

  1. Name of podcasts: Inside Gaming-Our GAME OF THE YEAR?
  2. YoGPoD 49: Christmas and new year’s Special 2015
  3. Giant Bomb's Game of the Year 2015
Type of podcast:
(E.g. review)
  1. Provide evidence of research of at least two podcasts, similar to your chosen podcast.  Comment on the content of the podcast e.g. do they have an intro/outro? Do they include music and sound effect? How many presenters are there? What do they talk about? What is their presentation style? What language do they use? Etc.
(See analysis sheet provided)

  1. They have a spoken intro don’t use any of sound effects they used music in there sponsor ad, they have 5 presenters all using informal energetic presentation style 9they kind of talk between each other.
  2. The other podcast used music in the intro no sound effects they have 3 presenters all using informal energetic language. They talk directly between each other
  3. No intro, no music, no sound effects, and only has 3-4 people in the podcast similar presentation style they talk a lot more from a game dev review so maybe they have professional  reviews who know what they are talking about.


  1. Compare and contrast at least two podcast. Comment on elements that are similar and different between them.

  1. The only talk about more popular games (good and bad) they talk about similar game aspects such as user ability, visuals, story or multiplayer ability.
  2. Their views on different game are different however since it’s a personal opinion review that is to be expected.
  3. They seem to have professional reviewing skills and a knowledge of the games industry while the others are talking from a player’s personal view. They don’t use any effects or music however they talk about a larger range of games.
  1. Provide any additional research based on your chosen podcast. E.g. web links etc.

  • The more people In the podcast the more fluent the conversation.
  • Talk about more well know released game or the listener will feel excluded from the topic.
  • research


  1. Provide in detail any elements that you haven taken from your research that you are going to apply when creating your own podcast and why? Focus on the content you are going to include?  If you are doing to use any music or sound effect? Presentation style and language? Along with any editing techniques you plan to use?


I’m going to use game sound effects and maybe game music quietly in the background and my presentation style will be energetic in formal and maybe a little loud.
I plan on making a list of games to talk about in order of release and use computer effects to fade out at the end and maybe make a opening and ending.
While be only talking about more popular release games.

podcast facts

History
Adam Curry, in collaboration with Dave Winer, a developer of RSS feeds, is credited with coming up with the idea to automate the delivery and syncing of textual content to portable audio players

the first app to be compatible with podcasts was  iPodder X,

Apple issued Cease and Desist orders to many podcast application developers and service providers for using the term "iPod" or "Pod" in their products' names

Adam Curry launched his show Daily Source Code. It was a show focused on chronicling his everyday life, delivering news and discussions about the development of podcasting, as well as promotion for new and emerging podcasts. Daily Source Code is believed to be the first podcast produced on a consistent basis.

In June 2005, Apple released iTunes 4.9 with native support for podcasts.

Personal Audio lawsuits

A company called  Electronic Frontier Foundation tried to claim ownership over the idea of podcasts and tried claiming royalties off podcasters .

Podcasts
A podcast is a form of digital media which is pre-recorded. It’s also episodic and can be downloaded from Apples software iTunes. It can also be streamed online to a computer or mobile device.
A list of audio and video files appear on a server as a web feed to users. A software named ‘Podcatcher’ enables you to check for updates and download any new files In the series.

The name
In February 2004 a man named Ben Hammersley first mentioned ‘Podcasting’ in The Guardian newspaper. The word podcast is combined with ‘iPod’ and ‘broadcast’.
Windows claims the Pod in Podcast stand for Portable on Demand and the cast standing for broadcast.


in February 10-25th march 2005 Shae Spencer Management filed a trademark application to register for the term 'podcast' for a prerecorded show online. But on September 9 2005 the United States patent and trademark office declined the application and informed them of the term and it's history. The company then sent a second application the following year in march, it was again rejected with the trademark office insinuating it hadn't differentiated for the first letter enough. The same year in November the letter was abandoned.


September 26 2004 it was reported that apple started to crack down on the term 'pod' in all product and company names. Apple sent a cease and desist letter to a company called 'Podcasts ready Inc'. as they had a product called 'mypodder'. Lawyers for Apple argued that the term 'pod' is used in such a significant way by the public to refer to their music material that it falls under apple trademark cover. it was speculated that apple was expanding their existing trademark of 'iPod' which included trademarking 'IPOD', 'IPODCAST' and 'POD'. So on November 16, 2006 the apple trademark department revealed that apple doesn't mind other company using the generic term 'podcast' to refer to them kinds of services and that apple hadn't licensed the term yet they had not specified whether or not they held rights to it or not.
