Some of the slides are cut off due to formatting errors and the constant playing of music throughout the narration was a little bit distracting. But overall, this podcast does an excellent job for what it was intended to be: a training podcast. One can really learn how to handle Variable and Absorption Costing by watching Jeff’s video. The slides give great visual aides that take you step by step through the whole process of how to compute these problems. In addition, the Andrew Carnegie cameo at the end was nice touch.

Jeff’s video did a great job going over Variable and Absorption Costing. It went step by step as to how to use Variable and Absorption Costing with the help of visual aids. I few drawbacks in the podcast were primarily due to a formating issue. Multiple visual slides were cut off so all the information could not be read. In addition the background music clouded Jeff’s voice and there were sudden increases in volume leaving the listener distracted. I also liked how he referenced Ted’s Podcast if the listener wanted more information on CVP. On the other hand the timing through off the flow of the podcast and I feel this could have been done much more effectively. All in all this was a great training podcast, great job Jeff.
