How the Internet Affects the Anti-Vaccination Movement
I wish I was able to talk conversationally without worrying about pronouncing my words. I feel like that was the aspect which took the most out of my podcast. When I speak quickly and conversationally, my accent/speech patterns come in more and I don't pronounce words as well, which means the podcast could lose some of its educational credit. However, if I spoke how I did, it appears that I'm talking too slow and reading off a prompter, even when I'm attempting to improv. If I could change one thing, it would be the way I speak. I also removed one video clip from my script because I felt it was too redundant.
I lost one of my video clips when I was exporting my essay, so I had to go back and redo the part where the audio just didn't appear.

I like the use of music in…
I like the use of music in the opening, but would smooth over the transition and work on the volume levels. The clips seem to be providing good content, so working on how they are integrated into the piece will make it smoother. Since there are a lot of clips, you will want to focus on any noise reduction for them, the volume levels, and the transitions in and out of them. It might be worth thinking about whether any of the clips might be cut--e.g., measles for Somalian community at 42%. The tone of the narration is a bit formal, but I don't think it is too extreme. I feel like working on the technical aspects of smoothing transitions and editing levels=perhaps trimming out a clip or two--will get this much closer to where it needs to be. You can then redo the voice, aiming for a bit more informal feel, but not worrying about it too much since all the pieces will still come together well. Nice work.
