Structure (Coco Ang, W14)


My podcast follows the “All Things Considered” structure. It starts off with a scene from the Friends episode, “The One with the Jellyfish” which is represented by the straight line at the beginning of the drawing.
This straight line is then followed by a 'dip,’ which looks like a ‘U’. This dip represents the core part of my podcast which includes what a jellyfish sting is, whether or not urine is a useful remedy and how to treat a sting.
Following the dip is a return to the straight line, which represents a return to the scene from Friends that was introduced in the beginning of my podcast.

My podcast structure does follow the typical structure of Everyday Einstein, the podcast that I am emulating.  Usually, Everyday Einstein will also begin with a short story that leads into the central part of their segment; similarly, this will include information about a scientific topic. Their podcast segment then finishes by returning back to that story. A good example from Everyday Einstein that follows this structure is “Should You Store Batteries in the Freezer?


In regards to the number of citations in episode 102 “Icon for Access,” I have counted 22 citations.
