Critique of Federal Reserve Podcast

Your job is to select one student Federal Reserve Podcast and analyze/critique it. The podcast can be from my 2nd or 4th period economics class. Podcasts are available on my web page under student podcasts. View the podcast and critique it using the following guidelines:

1.) How strong is the content of the podcast? Does it thoroughly discuss all of the important aspects of The Fed? (Link to the original Fed podcast lesson.)
2.) How is the recording? Is it loud, clear, and listenable?
3.) How are the images? Do they contribute to and match the verbal content?
4.) How effective is the style of the podcast? Is it interesting and creative; or not?
5.) Did you learn anything from the podcast? Is it educational?

Your podcast review should not be numbered like the list above; that is merely a rough guide for you to follow. Your review should be like a newspaper review - several paragraphs - not a numbered list.
Be sure to put the link of the podcast on your blog entry. You can do this by clicking on the chain link looking icon on the toolbar.
You should listen to/view the podcast more than once before writing your review.
Remember - a good critic praises as well as criticizes!! Your review should have both praise and suggestions for improvement.
