This podcast is about caffeine and how it doesn't really help you. This podcast was great because it was not too long. It was only 60 seconds. I know some people get bored when the podcast. If a podcast is seven minutes, I start tuning out of it by 4 minutes. This podcast is something everyone can gain knowledge from. Some people might relate to it and they know that caffeine isn't really what it's known for.

QUESTION A-) How is this podcast organized? Answer- This podcast is organized pretty well. It has an interesting jingle in the beginning. It has a little introduction on what it will talk about. In this case the subject is about caffeine. The podcast is put pretty orderly. In the beginning it has a little jingle, an introduction on the topic, the main part(which is win the guy starts talking about the mice experiment), and a little conclusion all in about a minute.

QUESTION B-)How is the podcast homepage organized? Answer- The name of the website lets you know what the website is generally going to be about science. They have many options like ONLINE SECTIONS, BLOG, SCIENTIFIC MAGAZINE ETC. They also have different kinds of science like Space, Evolution, Energy and sustainability, Mind & Brain, Health & Medicine, and Technology. This website is pretty much a broad website. You have to keep on looking until you get something good. Once you get it, you have a basic summary of your topic.

QUESTION C-) What is the producer saying about the topic covered? Answer- The producer is saying that coffee and caffeine doesn't really sober you up. They conducted an experiment to prove it true. Caffeine doesn't really help you avoid danger. So anyone drunk out there, don't try a cup of coffee to calm you down because it won't help you stay away from danger. He is also trying to say that you shouldn't be driving a moving vehicle when you are drunk.

D-) My opinion about this topic The interesting part about this podcast is that the experiment proved out that this was true. It was more interesting because it was kind of like something you would spend 1 minute of your life listening to. It was short and sweet, not overwhelming listening to. My opinion about this topic is that caffeine isn't a type of medicine. Besides, doesn't every mother on this planet stop their children from drinking soda since it has "too much caffeine"?. My opinion about this podcast is that people should listen to it and maybe think about reducing the amount of caffeine they intake since it's not much help.
