#15 Podcasting=Awesome

I understand what a podcast is but have never listened to one and am not knowledgeable on the subject, which is why I signed up for workshop this summer at IU. This "thing" will be a good preparation so I don't go into the class completely ignorant :)

I looked at both Pod Cast Alley and podcast.com and must say I preferred podcast.com. Podcast.com seemed to be more organized and I like the fact it had a player right on the page so I didn't have to download something, I could just listen. I decided to search for language learning podcasts. I found some simple a series of One Minute Language learning podcasts and found I could learn basic Japanese, Mandarin, Polish or even Luxembourgish (who knew). I found there were a ton of language learning resources and really a podcast for every interest.

After doing this "thing" I am definitely interested in learning more about podcasts and perhaps in the future if I ever have anything interesting to share perhaps I'll make my own. I'm really looking forward to my class.
