Podcast Description

Tales from the Heart is a children’s tale podcast. Twice a month a new children’s tale is produced with a Latino touch in each story.

The goal of these podcasts is to provide the children and the adult audience with new tales, bed stories and fairy tales that include a Latino culture touch. The stories are developed in places like Chile, Peru, Mexico, Argentina, Guatemala and other parts of the American Continent. Some of the stories also touch on the environment and global social issues and some are pure fairy tales that take place on beautiful places all over the American Continent with new fairy creatures as well as magic.

Each story will provide a summary and a complete script of each story.  The podcast will vary from 5 to 15 minutes depending on the story. All stories will include at least one image as a reference point.

The audiences of these podcast are children, parents, teachers, grandparents and other family members who would like to share these stories with children.

Podcast for Individual Blog/Changes

After reading the materials (books and class blog), I thing I will definitely make may blog a lot.

* Change the name and URL for my blog. The reasoning behind it,  is that my current blog’s name “tales from the heart” can sound like a romantic/drama name and not like a blog for Latin America Children’s Tales.

* Change the design.  Even though the current design can look like a blog for children, I think that it has to reflect the Latin American aspect of it and the characters of the tales. I will change the design by adding some of the different characters from the tales (Landes, cave boy, beavers, Bird, Chady/is like a fairy etc.), make it colorful for children.

* Incorporate images to the podcast.  Since some of the podcast are long (about 15 min.) In order for children to follow, it needs some kind of a visual aid. I will add few images to the podcasts, only few as a base, so that they can still have the room to use their imagination.

* Incorporate the Spanish section since it is the most spoken language in Latin America.  This will add another type of audience , like children that are learning Spanish as a second language and Spanish speaking audience. I will incorporate a Spanish section for podcasts that I will translate.

* It is important to provide an overview to the audience about what the story is about.  This has to be catchy, a description that will motivate the audience to listen to the podcast. I will add a description for each podcast and the time length (with an image, this will help the description).

* Sometimes the part about the author can also be important for both the English and Spanish audience.  I will translate this part.
