Welcome to the MAD Podcast blog

My name is Staci, and I, along with my friends Sarita, Sarah, Marshall and Deborah, am a host of the soon-to-premiere literary podcast, the MAD Podcast.

The MAD (or Media Analysis and Discussion) Podcast is an audio show that focuses on analyzation, critique, and general discussion of all forms of media. The MADers will be discussing books, movies, plays, music, articles, other podcasts, blogs, websites, youtube videos and more. Each week we select a specific piece of media to analyze. Listeners are encouraged to read, watch, or listen to the media we will discuss, and a list of future discussion topics will be made available on both the blog and the website.

The MAD Podcast is recorded in several segments, including:
-intro
-news (with Deborah)
-ask the MADers
-spoiler warning
-plot synopsis (with Staci)
-main discussion
-first impressions
-plot/characters/setting/etc.
-final impressions & ratings
-character spotlight
-trivia
-outro

The MADers also encourage listeners to send in questions, suggestions, and rebuttals to the MAD Podcast e-mail at themadpodcast@gmail.com. Listeners can point out errors in past shows, voice their opinions on previous discussions, and make suggestions for segments or ways to improve the show. Listeners may also suggest books, movies, or other forms of media for the MADers to discuss.

Welcome to the MAD Podcast blog, where I will post news and status updates about the show, as well as recording anecdotes. You can also check the MAD Podcast website for more information.

Although the MAD Podcast website is not currently up and running, listeners will be notified on both the show and the blog the moment it is up.

Thank you for visiting the MAD Podcast blog!

-Staci
