My podcast episode involves a lot of background information on licensing, popular music and viewer response, followed by dynamic and interesting examples that illustrate my point. Throughout the podcast I return to my main example of OneRepublic and Walt Disney, but I also tie in other instances of popular music being used in commercials.
Because of the back and forth between illustration and exposition, this diagram best describes the structure of my podcast. There are large amounts of information that is easy to understand, followed by examples that listeners will be able to easily digest. Under the Influence uses a similar structure, where O'Reilly explains complex ideas and then gives examples that illustrate his point. The examples and anecdotes are the high points and they are spaced out in such a way, for both my podcast and the one that I am emulating, that the listener's interest is sustained throughout the episode.
Under the Influence sometimes starts with captivating anecdotes. I tried to emulate that in my podcast, starting off with a story about me and my experiences with popular music in commercial advertising. The exclamation points represent anecdotes and stories, and the curved lines represent the build up towards them.
However, my structure differs from Under the Influence in that my episode can be divided into two major sections (as represented by the vertical line). The first half deal with music licensing and the second half with the effects of popular music in commercial advertisements on viewers. Under the Influence doesn't have such distinct sections in their podcasts, they usually deal with multiple topics related to a single marketing concept. With that said, we both present topics that are relevant to consumers.
I counted 23 citations in total for the episode "Icon for Access."
