After putting out two podcasts in the space of less than a week, I\u2019ve decided to pace myself a bit more and also plan ahead a bit. <\/p>\n
One of the things I\u2019ve thought of talking about is the whole Scouting programme in the UK. There are two reasons for this. <\/p>\n
The first is that by revisiting all aspects of the programme, it will refresh it for me and help me in my role as a Group Scout Leader.<\/p>\n
The second is that my perception of the people who read the blog and listen to the podcast are mainly from outside of the UK. So a question for you all out there, would this be interesting to you?
My thought would be to break it down into talking about Beavers and Cubs, then Scouts and finally Explorers and Network. Also I would probably talk about each of the sections as each country tends to do its own thing on ages, mixed Scouting etc.<\/p>\n
The other thing that interests me is the use of language in the podcasts. I\u2019ve noticed that I\u2019ve slipped up a couple of times and said things like \u2018me blog\u2019 instead of \u2018my blog\u2019. Does this confuse or irritate? The other thing is if I were to say that we\u2019d been doing x over a weekend and \u2018now we\u2019re all knackered\u2019 would you know what I was on about (answer at the bottom)? These are examples of the way that I\u2019d talk in \u2018real life\u2019, so I\u2019m interested to know.<\/p>\n
My plan is to put a podcast out once a fortnight or so and to keep them at a reasonable length of around twenty minutes.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m enjoying doing these podcasts and I hope people are enjoying listening to them and as I get more practise the quality can only go up!<\/p>\n
Please let me know your thoughts on the above questions. Leave a comment on the blog or you can email me at the address given on the podcasts or at nawbus (at) gmail.com. If I\u2019ve emailed you in the past, you\u2019ll now know that I have at least three different email addresses but I use them for different things and for putting on here, Google\u2019s email has much better antispam filters!<\/p>\n
