I listened to the Hidden Brain podcast Baby Talk: Decoding The Secret Language Of Babies from NPR. In just the first two minutes, there was an audio clip from a video, brief background music, and a clip from an interview in addition to the narrator speaking and giving background to the podcast. He also gave a layout at the beginning of what was to come in the podcast and played short clips from later in the podcast to give a sense of what we would be listening to and what it was about. There weren’t long sections of the narrator talking, but instead, interviews were pieced in so there was a greater structure. Also, when they discussed music, music played in the background to keep the listener engaged and also have a better sense of what they were talking about. Sound effects were also used later when the podcast talked about bouncing babies up an down to music, there was a sound effect used to show the reader how they were bouncing them, and there was also music playing in the background which is what they listened to. In this podcast, the narrator was used mostly to explain further what the people he was interviewing were saying. In some places throughout the podcast, since it was about babies, there was a lullaby type song in the background. There were also many clips of different baby sounds that were played as they discussed what each of them meant and what people usually think when they heard them.
