Critique of Federal Reserve Podcast

This review will be about Ritu and Franchesca's podcast. Overall, the descriptive details and solid choice of topics to focus on, improves the overall effectiveness of the podcast. Both Ritu and Franchesca spoke clearly and at such tone and speed that it was relaxing to obtain the information as well as understanding it. Although some images were repeated, majority of the images does assist the viewer in picturing all the information that was given. The pictures were not all in tune with the information, one example was the description of the banks which was actually the name of the school which is banks. Although I personally found the podcast topic of a MTV talk show to be a little corny, it does allow all the information to be given and have a good excuse to do so. However realistically MTV wouldn't be airing an interview about the federal reserve.
The viewers who do watch this podcast would more then likely learn some of the information given, although it was informative because there were so much information that it wasn't possible for them to remember all of the details. Some recommendations for the creators of the podcast, they need to choose whether or not their main intention is to be comedic or informative. By combining both type it not only decreases the effectiveness of the podcast but it also decreases the trust of the information given. Overall I believe that they were informative and come what humorous however they should take side on whether or not they want their podcast to be humorous or informative.
