ah. Dan Brown. I just realized that i own every one of his books, but have only mustered enough energy to read angels and demons as well as the Da Vinci Code. I think i'll have to check out the lost symbol, though. keep the Langdon tradition going! :P
*ahem* ANYWAY, onto your podcast! Something i noticed and thanked you soooo much for SPEAKING CLEARLY AND SLOWLY! i heard each and every word you said in this podcast, which gave me the opportunity to reflect upon what i was learning as you spoke. I didn't feel like anything was overwhelming. i'm glad you took the risk (in order to meet the requirements) to give direct examples of Dan Brown's writing on-screen. I was afraid to do that so often in my own podcast, but i feel that it worked well with yours. I was able to read the passages on my own time and listen to your explanations and analysis without confusion!
OH and before i forget, the way you introduced your author at the very beginning of the novel (relating to the size of the title/byline text) was very clever! i laughed. :) people turned to look at me as i did so in the resource centre... oh well.
i really thought that the change of tone and addition of another voice for the characters/narration of your original piece made the reading all the more effective. I really feel that that extra voice added to the over tone of the reading, making ti all the more enjoyable to listen to.
All in all, you've put a lot of time into this podcast, and it shows! you clearly explained each and every aspect of Dan Brown's writing (as well as your own) and made your podcast very easy to follow and to-the-point.
another great job on yet another gruelling requirement for this class. you glide through this last year, well done!!!
