I personally have never been into podcasts. There are a number of reasons as to why I never liked them and one of the main reasons is that I am Deaf. I require more visual information than others (lips for me to read and captions). I also have ADHD and podcasts have never been able to hold my attention for more than a minute, however there is this one podcast called Clooless Podcast that managed to do this. I am going to warn you though that this is not a family friendly podcast and is more of a "we're doing fun shenanigans" podcast. It is a podcast with four men (who are both YouTubers and Twitch streamers) called Puffer, Grizzy, Pezzy, and Droid.

Reflect on your overall listening experience. What did you learn about the importance of delivery in audio podcasts, and how will this influence your approach to creating your own podcast?
I think what I took away from this listening experience is the fact that they are comfortable in sharing experiences with each other to the audience. It almost feels like the audience is a part of the friend group. It does not feel uncomfortable (unless their humor isn't for you). If you know about the uncertainty reduction theory in ongoing relationships (Griffin, 2019) and try to combine it with this podcast, you may think that it is unneeded, which I agree with. As a viewer, there has been no hints of uncertainty between them, which may be crucial to not show to the audience if there is as it will be unprofessional. Uncertainty between friends could lead to problems when it comes to a podcast and could cause a podcast to be unenjoyable to viewers
Another thing that I have noticed is that they are not too difficult to understand due to the equipment they have. It makes the audio sound clear and this would be something I will absolutely need to make sure when creating a podcast. I think the one thing I took away from this is the fact that I do not want my audience to be uncomfortable and make sure they are comfortable enough to continue listening.
Who/what was the intended audience for this podcast?
I do think the intended audience for the Clooless Podcast would be people who have been longtime or newer viewers of the people in the podcast. It is mostly a podcast that is not for learning purposes such as learning about plants, but more for entertainment purposes. It can be a good podcast if you want to stray away from the non-fictional genre, especially at work or after a long day and you need some laughter.
One of my favorite episodes.

Hello! My name is Kory Leonard. My pronouns are he /they. I grew up in Fayetteville, Arkansas and was born here. My current time zone is central which is 2 hours ahead of OSU's pacific time. I am currently in my second year of being an E-Campus student here at OSU. I currently major in psychology! From what I can recall, I have never taken a speech class before. I'm pretty sure I managed to get out of taking speech classes in high school by doing other classes instead. This means that this will be my first one. I do believe that communication is extremely important. It is complex and there are many ways we can communicate which I do find fascinating. We, as a society, rely on communication a lot. There are a lot of communication apps that I have used a few times before, but I have found myself using Discord a lot. I use it mainly because most of my friends are on there and it is pretty easy to navigate once you get the hang of where everything is or what they do. I have been...
For most people their day-to-day life includes not only going to work or school, but also being on social media apps such as TikTok or Instagram. It is a common sight to see at least one social media app on someone's device. Social media apps can bring people together but they can also tear them apart. We will be discussing social media in this post about its positives, negatives, and its relation with mental health.

The different types of social networking sites can offer many benefits, but they can also have its disadvantages. It is not uncommon to see people on social networking sites as we can see most people around us are on these sites. It really is up to the person's personal preferences on whether or not they would prefer a site like Twitter (X, I refuse to call it that), perhaps a site like YouTube, or Tumblr. A major common benefit to social networking sites...
As someone who is Deaf with cochlear implants, I rarely rely on auditory information, but rather visual information. I tend to take in more visual information more than others. I can remember my way back to the apartments I used to live in or the old house I used to live in from a little over a decade ago. This was because of visual information. Visual information is an extremely important part in helping me gain knowledge and is usually what I prefer to take in. Social Semiotics is one example of analyzing visual information. Social semiotics was developed by a linguist, Michael Halliday, and contributed further by Gunther Kress. Social Semiotics goes into depth of analyzing social communication methods such as images, texts, and gestures. We will be focusing on images today. It helps us understand what the images are telling us. It takes into account the composition, the colors used, and more. Vertical positioning in social semiotics play a huge role in creating a meaning...
