Podcasts

I like podcasts because they offer a new world information and an innovative way of receiving it, especially for auditory learners. There are elements of interest for anyone and everyone, items that serve a wide array of purposes. It seems that podcasts can serve to teach, entertain, and even do both simultaneously.

I chose to look for a podcast to serve more of the entertainment purposes for this activity, something to get me out of the vocational route I've been taking for so many of these exercises. I found an interesting podcast that contains episodes of old time radio shows. It may seem odd for someone my age to find that interesting, but I do! I love watching old movies and TV shows, and I think listening to the radio programs of the 40s and 50s is fascinating! I look forward to listening to several of the old time radio episodes, as well as finding numerous other podcasts that I can listen to in the future, whether it's to pass the time on a rainy Saturday afternoon or to locate information for a grad class...or even to teach my own class! I've never explored this avenue of technology before, but I'm excited to learn more about it.
