The first podcast I reviewed was called Scene/Unseen with Chris and Jimmy. The idea is that every week one of the co-hosts sees a movie and the other host does not see the movie. They both go to discuss it after it has been viewed by one and the one who sees the movie can help shatter some of the preconceived notion the other one has or they can help go into details the'unseen' host doesn't know about. The Podcast is a lot of fun to listen to, they add a lot of humor and have many clips of scene sound bites that the viewer cant see but make them guess what movie they are listening too. Most of the episodes have a theme. The one I watched had the theme of Hair: Hairspray was viewed and Shampoo was a clip.
The second Podcast I viewed was called Grammar Girl: Quick and Dirty Tips. The last one I viewed was called "When to Capatalize sentences" The podcast seems like it would be boring but the fun examples and the way she describes wha she is doing is educational while being fun. The newest podcasts are put right on her website Grammar Girl. The negatives about her podcasts are the stream of consiousness style of her podcasts that seems to have us stray fromt he point very easily but overall the blogs are easy to listen to without being bored. I also enjoy the vairety of her podcasts from writing tips to sentence tips to grammar and sourcing--everything a writer needs to know.
Chick Chat has one host named Mary Margaret and every week she has different women visitors on the show without revealing last names. They go into details about celebrities sharing opinions and views on celebrities and other pop-culture references. Mary leads to conversations asking questions and fueling the women's opinions. I guess my negative comments would be that there really isn't a theme or point to the podcast other than it is a group of women. They also stay a long time on one topic. Like in the August 1st podcast they talked about Lady Gaga for about 10 minutes. they do bring up new points of lady Gaga that I hadn't known before. Through all of the women's knowledge they do have a lot of relevant things to say about pop culture.
