Podcast analysis mini-assignment

I listened to NPR's "All Songs Considered" podcast. This time there was a guest DJ: Björk. She talked about some artists that she liked that were doing interesting things with music and who she essentially wanted to share with people. The elements that I noticed were limited to voices and music. There were no sound effects that I could hear, but I suppose it could be argued that some of the music used sound effects. The dialogue was very conversational, but relatively seamless, so there was almost certainly some editing done to give it "that polished feel". And since it flowed well, there wasn't much silence, except maybe between questions or where it would usually occur in conversation. The music would come in very soon after the talking ended, but the music would fade out and sometimes stay very quiet as the voices came in and the interview started back up.
