Richard!

Richard's podcast on Lewis Carroll included the element of different perspectives, which added a lot of realistic, but humorous effectiveness to his podcast. Richard's choice to narrate and demonstrate his author's style or writing was unique and very authentic. It is difficult to make your podcast interesting with the same voice over for 15 minutes, but because Richard used multiple characters for the different segments within his podcast, it was alwasy interesting and never felt like it was dull or being dragged on.

Richard's variety of music and dialogue was very well balanced and all together worked to make his podcast complex, but not chaotic or confusing. He found a great median between having enough different elements, but careful not to overload and become distracting.

I did not know very much about Lewis Carrol, infact simply hearing the name, I would not have even been able to tell you he was the author of Alice in Wonderland. Richard's podcast amde it very clear of his interest in Lewis Carroll's writing style, and I found myself learning many new things for exmaple, that there were multiple books based on the theme of Alice in Wonderland.
The ending was a great, fun way to conclude your author and the video was a nice change from the narration and pictures. Really well done Richard!
