Radio and TV shows use a consistent structure, or format, to make their shows familiar and engaging. For example, a late-night TV show has a monologue, an interview, a variety segment, and then another interview. A format also helps you choose and organize the material you’ll cover in your podcast. Before you record your first podcast episode, decide on the structure your episodes are going to have, and plan what’s going into each segment. http://homepage.mac.com/ilife06/learn/enclosures/LTP-episode2.mov 3:19 Wed, 11 Jan 2006 19:00:00 GMT Apple Computer Creating a new episode, setting recording levels, and starting to record.
