There are some really cool benefits to adding audio effects to your podcast. I found a website that lays them out pretty clearly. I am going to paraphrase some of the advice that it gave. If your podcast is becoming “talky,” it would probably be best to add in some background music to long speeches or interviews. The music helps keep you focused. Secondly, if your podcast is becoming choppy, then music can help make transitions flow better. Going from one segment to another doesn’t have to be difficult. If you’re changing from a light hearted tone to a more serious one, then let your music reflect that. Lastly, sound effects can help make a podcast interesting. If an interview came out to be pretty full, then add in sound effects to help spruce it up. Your main goal should be keeping people interested; audio elements help you do that.

This is a really inciteful comment, and I will definitely make sure our group works on audio elements so that our podcast can be both exciting and entertaining. Further, although our group has not decided on a format yet, we are going to have an interview that will be merged together with our podcast's general storyline, and I think it would be a great idea to have smooth transitions accompanied by relevant audio elements. If anyone else has suggestions on how they will implement audio into their respective podcasts, I would be happy to read them.
I think not only does audio keep the audience interested, but it does a lot more. Mainly, I think it helps set the tone, as you mentioned. If the topic goes from serious to lighthearted, the audio should reflect, just as the tone in one’s voice does, or how someones body language would change if you were face to face. Audio brings the same element. This can benefit a podcast very well so that the audience doesn’t get anything confused just in case. We see the same thing in movies or tv shows.
