PODCAST Review

After reviewing http://www.virtual-live.net.au/nationalpornographic/index.html on the Virtual Live Australia. It's a metal-alternative podcast which blends the latest music from Sydney with fun and different antics. They broadcast from what looks like an apartment where the broadcasters do whatever they want. This particular podcast the casters prouce for he viewers a rather catchy and impromptu song. Nothing flashy, well it it, they set up a psuedo stage and sound system with the fish eye lens.
This podcast is not making much sense out of any debate. Its created for entertainment only. I chose this over any political podcast because in my opinion, more people look at podcasts for funny and random purposes than they do for watching debates. That is of course from my perspective. However though this podcast says nothing in a debate way, they are saying a lot in the meaning of how they produced it. The producers put a lot in interest into creating something that is not a debate to procure a debate about how we use the internet. Many around the world use it for actual information and get less than desired results. For instance just searching for anything pertaining to metal music draws up sites for pornography podcasts. Everything becomes interrelated and everything becomes another chance to go somewhere else. And in the land of podcasts it seems everyone becomes popular with a drop of the hat. This podcast mocks that. Say nothing become everything. Virtual fame.
