Episode 3 of Lafayette’s Renewable Resources Podcast: Hydroelectricity in Nepal
I really liked how the podcast mentioned large hydroelectric dams like the Hoover dam but also included smaller dams like the ones in Nepal. Including how hydroelectric power is helping provide electricity in regions that typically don’t have a great power grid helps us understand the impact hydroelectric power makes.
I really liked this podcast for the way it was formatted. Having the guests come on to explain the information regarding hydroelectric power and the way the technology was used made it easy to understand and interesting to listen. I also liked how it was related to real life situations such as the improvements being done in Nepal.
I thought your podcast was really interesting! I liked how you had a guest come on to describe what a hydroelectric power plant was and were able to in cooperate many impressive facts throughout. I lalso thought it was good how you were able to make the podcast more personal by describing exactly how this sourc of energy was helping people in Nepal.
I liked your focus on a real, specific, story. I’m glad that you focused on small hydroelectric plants, because during my group’s research on tidal energy, we noticed that large damns have fallen out of favor for the most part. So I liked how you really focused on the future of hydroelectric power and current construction projects like the ones in Nepal. Your specific figures on the power outputted by the generators added a lot of credibility to your podcast as well.
I like the real life examples that were brought into the discussion as well as the connection with Nepal as a center point for generating conversation. Furthermore, the podcast seemed very informal and inviting to the audience, which really made listeners interested in the facts and hydroelectric power in general. I also liked the emphasis on the impact of the energy.
Really strong example of using stories regarding aid in Nepal in your podcast. Also, your podcast was enjoyable to listen to, it flows very well. As well as, using the facts, like the amount of energy created, to back up your points was a strong side of your podcast! Overall, I liked it very much
