Critique of GDP Podcast

Today I reviewed Jared and Mari's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) podcast. The first thing about the podcast that stood out to me was the way they presented the information. I think it was very creative to set up the podcast as if it were a phone call. It is so realistic that it gets the audience interested. I think they did an excellent job in the creativity department.

The next thing I noticed about the podcast was how good their recording sounded. The recording was very clear and they made sure they did not mumble. On another note, the images were satisfactory. Although they coordinated with each subject they were discussing they did not add to the podcast or provide any additional information.

Lastly, the most important question. Was their podcast educational?

Jared and Mari touched on all the major points about gross domestic product and answered all of the questions listed in the original assignment. They discussed its definition, how it is calculated, how it effects other nations and the difference between GDP and per capita income. They explained everything so thoroughly rather than rush through all the details, which was also very good on their part.

Overall, I believe Jared and Mari did a fantastic job with their podcast.

5 stars for Jared and Mari!!!
