  1. This podcast was informational and well-recorded. The volume of the voices were not too loud or soft, and the speech is clear and concise. I liked the mix of formal, informational language with the more casual and crass remarks here and there. I felt this was very reflective of the generation, which can be very well-versed and intellectual, but choose to be more relatable and fun. Something I noticed to watch out for is too long of spacers between the last word said and the transition sounds. I also think since the podcast is for the college demographic, you could choose a more pop or gen z style background music. While the music matches the subject and overall discussion (and also doesn’t overpower the talking), I think the harp music is too classy for a podcast called “Generation Zave America.” Overall, I really enjoyed listening to the podcast!

  2. Hi guys! I was really excited to listen to your podcast because your topic is something that I am currently trying to learn more about. I love the animation in both of your voices and the flow you have while speaking. I do think that there is a bit of a weird gap from 1:24-1:30 which you could maybe fade into to make it sounds more cohesive. The speed at which you are speaking is great but I would focus on trying to limit the amount of breaks within each sentence because it comes off as very choppy at some points. Overall this podcast is extremely insightful and informative. The content is well researched and the back and forth between you two sounds effortless. Great job you two!

  3. Hi y’all! I really enjoyed your podcast! I thought it was well researched, well spoken and edited well. I was impressed how you maintained very objective with only the beginning showing some opinions on the effects of money in campaigns. The only thing I would add was maybe a outline in the beginning going through everything you will be talking about in the rest of the podcast. This can help guide the lister through all your main points that you make throughout. It was funny because while I was listening, I thought to myself well how do we fix it, and not a moment later you proposed a process in which to fix the current issue. Overall though, I thought you have an amazing podcast.

  4. Excellent podcast!!! Great script and editing.

    I have to agree with one of the other comments. Having a roadmap at the beginning of what to expect during the podcast is really helpful for listeners.

    Well done!!! Thanks for this timely and important story.
