The 4 Podcasts..

1) The Adventures of WaterBong
My first pod cast is on Christmas. It’s an animated feature.The beginning tells you what you will find in this story such as children, Santa, pixies, reindeer and all sorts of things you are likely to find during Christmas time. The story begins when the waterbong wakes up at Christmas morning and bumps into Santa, who just came in to deliver gifts. Next you find these two characters on Santa’s sleigh on their way to deliver presents. Soon Santa gets into trouble and ends up dieing and what happens is, its up to Waterbong to save Christmas. Which he does by giving out presents to the children, the ending is a spoiler because it soon becomes a drag after Santa’s death everything just keeps going. There's no drop of excitement.

2) Marketing Jeans for Levis Strauss & Co.
It’s about marketing jeans for Levi Strauss. The pod cast starts off by talking about how this company became recognized into this popular world of fashion because of its durable jeans. They have become the word’s number 1 maker of brand name clothing jeans and sportswear. It tells us how this company started from the 18th century to the 20th century. Then it tells us how these jeans are marketed. They are divided into different brand names. What this pod cast is actually sharing with listeners is the marketing campaign, their target market and advertising strategies, online marketing. This pod cast ends by telling us what all we can do in this company’s site and how we can find things that are suitable to our needs. In all though I found this pod cast a bit boring because when it starts I found there’s no end to it. It’s like a river. The positive side though is if you were to do research on this company this pod cast would cover everything you need to know.

3) Bob The Horrible Magazine seller
This supposed to be a comedy. It’s actually a part of the Funny Voices channel.This pod cast is about a person who is trying to sell magazines but can’t speak most of the words properly some of the words you can vaguely understand. Otherwise he’s just plain babbling. So he bumps into someone who is on his way to work, he stops the man and starts to babble. The poor man is confused as well as running late for work. The man is trying to help but cannot simply understand a word being spoken by Bob. So what happens in the end is that Bob gets so tired of opening his mouth he leaves. It is pretty silly but the ending is a bit funny cause you are thinking that the Man will leave since he’s getting late but the opposite ends up happening.
4) Art on the air
Lastly this pod cast is about Italian Table Forks. The Host of the show is Daphne she begins the topic by talking about when table forks were used which was during the mid 1600’s. Then it goes on talking about how people usually in the finest diners eat ate with fingers instead of cutlery. Next you learn about how a princess brought the table fork from Turkey to Venice in Italy. This is how forks became famous began to come up everywhere including a paintings by Sandro Boticelli. One such painting was about a wedding banquet. Where you find the bride, groom, all sorts of things you would notice at a wedding. The story of the fork keeps going on as it is introduced to other countries such as France, England. This pod cast is interesting because it gives us information about the fork and its bag round. Plus its short!
