Podcasts

A podcast is an audio file made available for downloading to a computer or smartphone. Podcasts are typically available as a series and new episodes are received by subscribers automatically.

Over time, you might want to start adding in those additional sound effects, as well as things known as “stingers”, “sweepers”, and “transitions”.
You can make your own sound effects or you can find free ones online. The most popular free sound effect resource on the internet is probably The Free Sound Project.
It's a collaborative resource where anyone can upload their own recorded sound effects, and make them available for use on various “Creative Commons” licenses (commercial, non-commercial, etc).
There's some excellent stuff available on Freesound. But there's also plenty of low and poor quality audio on there too.
This means that you can end up spending a lot of time searching for the sort of audio you're after – and that could put you right back to square one.
Use copywrite free jingles
Good natural sound VS bad natural sound
Setting up an interview:
Don't talk too closely into the mic
Don't put speakers too close to the mic (echo)
Find a silent location
It's better to have more content than needed

Writing a News Article

Writing a paper for 'The Protector' North London School Creates a 'Separate But Equal' Environment for its students. A certain unnamed Jewish sixth form in North London has been accused by its Cambridge Technical students for creating an environment in which their peers, who take A Level Courses are favoured. One Cambridge Technical students went on to say  "pretty much all of our "whole sixth form assemblies" have been catered solely to the half of the sixth form taking A Level subjects. Despite stating on their website "The OCR Cambridge Technical is a highly-respected A Level equivalent" Cambridge Technical students continue to feel like they are second class students, with some expressing their concern for the issue by saying "this school thinks they can get away with actions that would only fly with Jim Crow laws in the 1960s". The double standards don't just stop with the forced assemblies for Cambridge Technical Students....
