Example of a Podcast

Here is my example of a news-related podcast. It is brought to you by Alex Day, aka Nerimon, who is an English vlogger and musician with an active presence on YouTube. Although most of his podcasts deal with his personal life or projects, this particular video stuck out because of the very direct and personal way that he describes British politics and legislative structure. The name of the video is Hung Parliament in 3 Minutes:

I like this podcast because:

• I think videos where people talk directly to the audience on a personal level are a great way to engage people in news-related topics.
• He does a great job of taking a complicated issue and making it easy to understand.

The only bad thing?

• Right now, this video is not very timely. Although when it was first published in 2010 it was very relevant to what was going on in British politics, it doesn't reflect the outcome. Regardless, I thought this was great example of a podcast and I still think it can be informative without the context of the British parliamentary elections.
