As a busy person, it is hard to make time to sit down and read the newspaper or even watch the news on television sometimes. However, I like to know what is going on in the world that I live in. This podcast talks about Hillary Clinton running for the presidential election. This podcast was well made. They even incorporated parts of Hillary Clinton's speech from her political campaign. Listening to this podcast, I know now that Hillary Clinton is really playing her "female card". Clinton believes that saying she is a female and that she wants to be the first female president will get her the votes of women. Not only was this podcast useful it was also entertaining and informative. I would definitely visit Tamara Keith's podcasts again.

#2 Jeb Bush To “Actively Explore The Possibility Of Running For President”

In my opinion, I did not feel like this podcast was very useful or informative. The title really speaks for itself and so there was not anything much more they said. They were mostly just repeating the the title. They seemed very disorganized as well. The title has the name "Jeb Bush" in it so you would think they would focus it on him, however, they mentioned how John McCain had about an 18% chance that he would run for this presidential election. I personally do not see the point in mentioning other candidates in this podcast being that their main topic was to talk about Jeb. I would probably not jump to visit this site again. I was surprised that I did not like the podcast. I thought being that it was from Fox News it would be very informative and  organized but that just was not the case.

#3 This Morning With Gordon Deal

In the beginning of this podcast they started off by introducing the show with theme music and announced the host, Gordon Deal. This podcast was well organized and I really enjoyed listening to it. This podcast had commercials throughout the whole podcast, like radio stations have. They also had incorporated a different (professional) person, to talk more in depth, for each different topic. I was very impressed and would definitely visit this site again. It was very informative, informing the public on topics such as technology in hospitals, the myth of senior discounts, march madness, and what an American can earn by playing pro ball in Iraq. Gordon Deal did not focus on just one topic which made me feel like I was listening to the radio. This podcast was very entertaining.
