A text for podcast has both the similarities and the differences, compared to a printed essay. Similarly, these two are both required students to show their ideas obviously and students have to gather much information to support their opinions. What's more, a podcast and an essay are allowed to use the specific prompt. These two both include introduction, body part, and conclusion, considering to the structure.
However, A text for podcast and a printed essay have the differences. Firstly, a podcast needed to be read loud and a speaker must be confident. Otherwise, the listeners will not pay attention to what he talks about and they will also be confused what the speaker talks about. On the other hand, a printed essay doesn't need to be read. Students must put the crucial part in the first paragraph to gain readers' attention. A well composed essay will help readers to understand. Secondly, Tone is also important. It can helps listeners to know the main points of the topic and to understand what the speaker talks about. In contrast with a printed essay, the way for an essay to emphasize the main points is to put the main sentence in the first place of each paragraph. Thirdly, a podcast needs oral citation while reading. But a printed essay only needs a correct in-text citation and a reference list.
Overall, a text for podcast and a printed essay have both the similarities and the differences.
Very well done Jason. You seem to have grasped the main distinctions between the two different types of "texts."
