Christine Hawryluk, W14: Structure of podcast

Hi all!

After listening to the podcast episode "Icon Access" of 99% invisible, I was able to find 31 citations.

Looking through the different podcast structures, I was able to most identify with the structure "This American Life". However, my podcast episode is crafted a bit differently from this structure, so I created my own podcast structure drawing.
 
 
Like This American Life structure, it follows a historical account or story, where it tells the order of events. My podcast is like this and this is why I have included the zig-zag style. You may be wondering what the loop in the centre represents. This represents how my podcast is structure from This American Life, which is that I include first-hand accounts in one of my sub-topics in my podcast. This element, I believe, sets my podcast apart from other podcast styles and adds an element that the audience would be able to connect to by forming an emotional connection.
 
I think that my podcast episode does resemble Stuff You Missed In History Class. It tells a story of a historical event and provides a fair amount of evidence. I feel very positive about my podcast. The only thing required to do, in terms of the work before recording, is to tighten up my points, clarify a few things and exclude things that I do not have time to expand on.
