Olga was nice enough to go through it twice since I managed to mess up the recording the first time. Thanks, Olga! I really liked many of Olga's answers to the questions--exactly what I was hoping for.
Setting up to record Skype through the computer and the recording sound levels were the most challenging as far as I was concerned and I am not too happy with the final results--I did some editing but I would want to practice and play around more before trying to do this for "real".
I like the interview style for the podcasts (even if I did not like figuring out how to record the skype call). I can see having students listen to a few good examples and reflect on what makes a good interview. Before attempting their own. I think to make these engaging they need to be more live than scripted. I liked having a few scripted questions but nothing turns me off from listening to a podcast worse than hearing someone read a script--now editing is important but not reading a script.
I like the idea from the Hendron on using podcasts to do book reviews-in that case I can see that a scripted podcast makes more sense. I also liked the rubric (pg. 215) for grading the book review. Like many of the in class speakers have talked about I see the value of separating the content from the mechanics. And also giving students opportunities to get points in case the technology fails (e.g. grading the script, a bibliography of outside sources, storyboard, etc.)
Here are three ways for getting to the podcast. Enjoy

I think interviewing scholars from several different departments would give you a variety of perspectives because research strategies might differ depending on the research discipline.
I am glad I could help with the assignment! Going through the interview twice actually allowed me to formulate some of my answers better.
Which application did you use for recording the call? PowerGramo worked very well for me.
