Review of Part One: Introduction to VegOil

This is an example of how many folks are podcasting. The technical quality of the voice recording is raw and sounds like it was done in a kitchen with quite a bit of hiss. Though the information about Veg Oil is valuable, it's basically a straight read throughout of what sounds like a print article. This is not radio and not broadcast quality. In order for it to work on radio, it would have to be recorded in a quiet (dead) room with a mic that doesn't make the female voice sound tinny. The read would have to be coached so it sounds more conversational. Right now it's too fast and too much like reading a laundry list. There is no doubt the producer cares about her material and is quite knowledgeable. She also has a cool web site, so my hope is that she'll re-do her work with better equipment and work on her voicing.
