I had a great time writing my pitch and an even greater time pitching it! It definitely helped me refine my topic because when I had to say "In this episode I will ..." I knew that if I could say it in a sentence, my idea would be clear and not to broad. Pitching it also made me reflect on the significance of my topic. If my producer liked the idea, chances are, the listeners would too. As well, pitching helped me create a number of research questions I could use to direct my research. The questions also helped me create an outline for my narrative for the podcast.
I believe pitching is a good pre writing assignment because it helps you decide what your topic or issue is, why it would be interesting, what you do or don't know about the topic or issue and what you want to know. However, I feel like you should pretend to pitch to a producer once the podcast transcript is created because the the first stage of the project is nothing compared to the last. After your research, you might find information that will help sell your podcast even more!
With all that being said, my refined podcast show idea is: Religious Plays in the 15th Century: How and why was theatre used to preach to the congregation.
