Tasks
Task no.1
Evidence verified by: one activity organiser
When removing sections of your recording, you need to think about the way that the words flow. You will need to consider what was said before, what is said after and how that affects the conversation as a whole.

Think of 5 examples of something you might want to cut out of your podcast to keep it flowing, relevant and engaging.

Task no.2
Evidence verified by: one activity organiser
In the following fictional transcripts, the guests have name-dropped people. For the purpose of anonymity, you need to remove the names. Highlight any sections of the conversation you would remove to keep it anonymous without ruining the flow of conversation.

Transcript 1
Host: Can you tell us about a time that you came up against an opposition to your protests?
Guest: Well, there was one man who was persistently at the protest camp trying to counter our efforts. He was an ex-policeman, Gary Sharples. He lived nearby and Gary didn’t think that there was any problem in digging for shale gas.
Host: How interesting!

Transcript 2
Guest: My friend from school has also come across some pretty damning evidence.
Host: Oh, I think I know who, Michelle, right?
Guest: Yes, that’s her.
Host: And did she ever take that to the authorities?
Guest: Unfortunately not, she didn’t see it to be as serious as it turned out to be
