podcast reflection

My podcast is about the injuries that someone could get if they ride a motorcycle without proper safety equipment on. I believe that it gets the point across very well with the needed visual images that the listener would need to be aware of all of the risks. I feel very confident with my podcast that everything for the script was written well with very few errors. Although, I believe that the recording itself could have been better. Really other than that I believe that it is a good podcast even with all the issues I had with audacity and the dreamweaver programs.

My Podcast

I plan on Podcasting on the consequences of riding a motorcycle unsafely. I realize that I didn't specify which direction I was going to be taking, I plan on specifically talking about head and brain injuries. I will probably touch on all other areas that can become affected in the event of a crash, but the head injuries will be where my focus is. I believe that even if someone has an accident on a bike, but they only hurt their leg or arm or something they'll still be able to function in most activities of daily living, but if they were to have a head, neck, or spinal chord injury the outcome can be more traumatic.

I want to inform the listener of the most problematic outcomes of riding a motorcycle unsafely. There are many statistics that will help me prove my point, and there are many doctors or anyone in the medical field that will have written journal articles on why safety should be number one on someone's priority when riding a motorcycle.

Reflection

I did my webtext on motorcycle safety, with my main focus on what to wear and about the classes a rider can take. I figured that it was a good idea because many young adults are interested in riding motorcycles, especially crotch rockets. I guess I figured that what I learned from my personal experience would be valuble information to others. I made my page as user friendly as possible, and chose colors that wouldn't make it hard for the reader to read. I chose to put a stunting video in it because many people do stunts, which is fine and all when they are doing it in a safe enviornment. I chose that video to show that its not hard or uncool to be safe, and some of the riders aren't safe in the video. It gives the reader a chance to think well what could happen to that rider? I believe that my webtext gets its point across and doesn't try to discourage the reader away from riding motorcycles, instead it encourages them to take proper safety precautions. Although I feel it is written well, I think there is more I could have done in order to make it look fancier. I just don't understand DreamWeaver that well.
