What does a good Economics podcast sound like?
Published by Jason Welker at 11:22 am under AP Economics
Here’s some examples of good economics related podcasts. Pay attention to the similarities, such as the interviews, smoothly edited transitions, introductions and conclusions, etc. A good podcast follows a similar structure to a good essay, it uses quotes (interviews) strategically to support evidence of the main ideas.
Some of these podcasts are longer than others. Remember, you’re only expected to make a 3-5 minute podcast exploring ONE topic related in SOME way to our class. Economics, of course, is part of our everyday life. Find one way economics is visible in YOUR life, grab a recorder, go out and interview people and put together a story that illustrates how we are LIVING economics!
