There were many differences between my audio essay and the podcast I created. The obvious differences are in the tone (informative vs conversational) and the fact that the podcast included two people. The other differences came in topic. While in the audio essay I didn't have enough time to touch on lots of different aspects of memes and only talked about inside knowledge, in the podcast, I was able to not only touch on what kind of knowledge it takes to understand a meme, but also the impact of these memes on our culture. I found it much easier to let the conversation flow where it might, while the audio essay seemed to restricted for a topic such as memes, which change everyday. Being able to collaborate brought much more depth to my discussion.
