Analyzing a Podcast

Browsing the podcasts at iTunes or other podcast providers, you stumble across the Quick and Dirty Tips series, specifically Money Girl, who has been dispensing financial advice since 2008. You sign up for the free podcasts that cover a variety of business topics. You can also visit the website Quick and Dirty Tips or interact with Laura D. Adams on her Money Girl Facebook page. Alternatively, examine the advice conveyed via podcast, the Web, Facebook, and Twitter by clever Grammar Girl Mignon Fogarty.

YOUR TASK. Choose a Money Girl podcast that interests you. Listen to it or obtain a transcript on the website and study it for its structure.

  • Is it direct or indirect?
  • How is it presented?
  • What style does the speaker adopt?
  • How useful is the information provided?

Post a very concise summary of the podcast by text message from your smartphone or tweet to your instructor. Try limiting yourself to no more than 280 characters to practice conciseness.

Requirements: summary Under 280
