The first time I ever subscribed to a podcast was way back at the beginning of this course when I learned about and set up my Google Reader. I was so excited about Minnesota Public Radio's Grammar Grater and actually played one of the podcasts in my class. At that time I also subscribed to NPR's All Songs Considered podcasts and another one for movie reviews that I don't really enjoy. In fact, I had fallen out of the listening habit and this "Thing" has prompted me to start again. To add to my subscriptions, I liked the Education Podcast Network and the NPR Podcast Directory and (drumroll and trumpet fanfare, please) FINALLY found some info to use in my drama class! Woo hoo! The American Theatre Wing puts out a Working in the Theatre Video Podcast that would be great for my students to view and have discussions about. Vox Talk podcasts deal with voice over and voice acting, which could be cool for some kids to learn about and NPR's In Character examines American fictional characters in print and on screen as a kind of sociological experiment-to see what these characters say about us as a society. I'm looking forward to creating my own podcast and think that I will try to create some with my students next year.
