Diana- I think you incorporated your background in theatre in your podcast. You had a good flow to your speaking, that maintained the viewer's interest. You also used intonation to create a smooth flow, and emphasize the key points. Each of your influences and stylistic elements was clearly addressed, and I could easily follow each point.
You also maintained the viewer's interest with the use of visuals; no visual was left on the screen for too long. However, at times I was confused as to how the visual supported what was being said. But, these visuals did not distract from what was being said. The most important thing about the podcast is that the information is effectively conveyed - and it was. Your voice clearly read the facts and quotes, and the visuals on the screen did not distract from that. I also like how you used multi-media, by using videos, quotes and still photos that enhanced the quality of your presentation. The theme of female empowerment was present throughout the presentation - which really supports the style of Maragret Atwood. Your visuals, and strong tone of voice, supported this theme.
Having read a novel by Margaret Atwood, I could easily tell that your original piece was an effective imitation of her writing. You were so descriptive, that even though I wasn't reading the words, I could visualize the scene. It also had a very dystopian tone, that I could clearly see the connection to "The Handmaid's Tale."
Basically, I have nothing but praise for your work. Everything was presented clearly, and the interest of the viewer was maintained.
Good work.
