Open Post to Peer Reviewers

This is going to be an open and honest post to my peer viewers. It will discuss much of what I want them to know and realize about my project. I will also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of it.
1.     As you may know, this is a rough draft. And when I say rough draft, I mean rough. With that being said, please ignore the pauses and random phrases inserted in to the podcast. These will be taken out during the editing process. I would like you to focus on the description of my conventions for each genre. For instance, are they specific enough? To they clearly distinguish the three genres presented? If not, how can I improve upon that?
I would also like you to focus on the implication of my evidence in to my paper. Is it enough to simply state the title and to not describe my paper at all?
2.     I have a few major weaknesses. For one, I cannot seem to formulate my sentences. I realize that and I have already had multiple recordings for each section in an attempt to fix this. Two, it is hard for me to come up with content when I’m put in the spot. When I say this, I mean that the topics that I discuss may not be very in depth at all. In fact, they may be general and totally off-topic. With that being said, please lookout for content that is not on topic/too general.
The last is the repetition of phrases and words. I am not just repeating myself in order to make my sentences come out clear, but I repeat myself because I am not always sure that I made my point clear. Please inform me of which sections require more in depth explanation and which provide adequate discussions.
3.     There are really only a few strengths in my “rough cut”. For one, I follow the conventions of a podcast fairly well. I begin with an introduction of the podcast segment and myself. I use colloquial language and a conversational tone in an attempt to relate to the audience. I also include an audio segment from another interview and close by thanking all of the subjects. Please let me know if any of this is unclear as you are listening to the podcast.
I also believe that I do a pretty good job at explaining the purpose and audience of each genre. Please inform me if you believe this to be untrue.
