Critique of Federal Reserve Podcast

Today, I reviewed Ashley and Justin's podcast on the Federal Reserve, which was very well presented. Not only was it very informative, but it was easy to listen to. It also touched on all the major points about the Fed, including its purpose, responsibilities and structure.

Another good aspect of the podcast was its style. It was created in the form of a study session between two students in an economics class. Although that would appear to be the most common format, it was very unique amongst the many podcasts; especially the pictures with the captions at the beginning and the ending of the podcast. The simplistic language they use also helps to make the podcast more listenable. It is much easier to listen to two students converse about the Federal Reserve rather than a teacher lecture about it. All in all, I believe this podcast was very educational.

I GIVE IT TWO THUMBS UP!!!
