If your URL is incorrect, late penalties will apply. If you do not have an accessible online space to post a link to your podcast (a blog, for example), please post the URL from the file sharing service that your podcast is hosted on (e.g. SoundCloud). Assignment Content Show notes provide an outline of the content in an episode of your podcast. Show notes should do the following: • Provide a convenient outline of topics and links mentioned in your show • Bring new visitors to your site and turn them into listeners Summarize the podcast: Your show notes should provide, at a glance, an outline of the contents of an episode. This is not only a matter of convenience for your audience but it also serves to attract listeners. If you carefully wrote an outline for your podcast before recording, then producing show notes should be easy. You want to include enough information to pull people in without giving everything away. CCT110: Rhetoric and Media. Winter 2023. Assignment #3 Include a captivating title: Think of a creative, engaging title that attracts a listener while indicating the content of the podcast. Your podcast should be titled something more creative than “Podcast Episode 1.” Use popular keywords: Keywords are phrases that people commonly search for on the internet. Think about what your potential audience might be searching for online. Use these phrases in your show notes if they pertain to the episode. This will help your site show up in searches for that phrase. Relevant links and resources from your show: If you mention web addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and other such information, it’s hard for your listeners to remember this information, so include it in your show notes. Resources: • Recorded podcasting lecture and production workshop in CCT 110 on February 16. • Assigned links and readings in the Quercus Class 6 module (February 16).
