Podcast Academy – The #1 Source for Podcast Education

So it’s definitely more palatable form of delivery of educational information than a lecture is. Now in fact, a study was done I think one of my APA, American Psychological Association colleagues sent me a link to a study that’s published on the internet. That was done, I believe at Northern Colorado University were a psychologist decided to test the effectiveness of having students listen to podcast content versus reading the content and how they would do on an exam. And it turned out in his study and he did this, you know, as carefully controlled and I think there were more than 100 undergraduates students in each of the treatments.

And the way it turned out was that reading was more effective preparation for the exam. So reading won. However, the strength of audio material or visual material, I think through the podcast medium is engagement. Is it interesting? It’s compelling. So it may not help you as well to prepare for an exam but it drives and sustains the interest in the subject matter. And to me that’s really, really important and that’s what I just refer to.

It’s a win for me and it’s a win for my guest.” And then I sort of saying, “No, it’s a win-win-win. It’s a win for me, it’s a win for my guest and it’s a win for my listeners.”
