Podcasting to Improve Vocabulary Development

Bumper Music for Podcasting

Definition of Bumper Music:

Short music clips used to transition between one element of programming into another. For example: when a syndicated talk show is ready to allow a local affiliate station to insert local commercials, it will often play a signature music piece to allow the transition.  Also called "intros" and "outtros."  This is not an essential requirement for student podcasts, but makes them more polished.
