 5. The Social Cougars Podcast is a mix between Nickelodeons Ned’s Survival Guide and MTV’s infamous reality show The Real World. With the eclectic views of opinions and the twist and turns of conversations, the podcast is very relaxed and easy to listen to. The podcast if filled with light humor, but also useful tips for all different stages of a college student’s life. The show is definitely a program that can be listened to frequently for advice and tips weekly for students and sometimes teachers. The podcast is flexible thus having space for maybe special appearances, and maybe competitions and prizes to be distributed throughout the series to keep people to continue to listen. He show is diverse so no one would feel left out and would hold the views of different cultures and inviting ones that haven’t been mentioned.
 6. The percentage of Americans who have listened to a podcast in the past month according to ThePewResearch.com, has almost doubled since 2008, from 9% to 17% by January of 2015. The percentage listening in 2015 was up two points over 2014 levels (15%). With the increase of people tuning in to podcast, this is perfect time to push out information about colleges and advice for students because more people are beginning to listen overall. This podcast can be passed around from one campus to the next and would be a very good competitor because of how honest and relaxed the show is. It’s not repetitive and it’s not boring a drawn out. Each show would have different timing and different conversations. Some people may say well how much can you possibly talk about college? And that’s a problem in of its self, people don’t talk about college enough along with the situations and conflicts that surround colleges and universities.
