Our class started a school podcast last month. At first, I wanted each episode to be about twenty minutes long, with music and several interviews. Lena disagreed. She said students would be more likely to finish a short episode on their way to school. We decided to make a five-minute trial instead. Our first guest was the school caretaker. He explained what happens in the building before most students arrive. We asked his permission before recording, and he listened to the edited interview before we shared it. Recording near the playground was a mistake because the background noise made some words difficult to understand. We moved to an empty classroom and tried again. After listening, classmates said the story was interesting, but we spoke too quickly. For the next episode, we will use shorter questions and leave more time between answers. Only twelve students filled in our feedback form, so we can't assume that everyone at school feels the same. The trial showed us what to improve, but it doesn't prove that short podcasts are always better.
