Hello, Today I listened to podcasts. I went to EPN (The Educational Podcast Network) http://epnweb.org/index.php?request_id=445&openpod=11#anchor11. I then went to the Subject Specific Podcasts section and clicked on Social Studies. I found some interesting things, the first one I checked was the First Amendment Minute. It is a podcast that tells about Supreme Court cases that involve Freedom of Speech. http://epnweb.org/player.php?podshow=http://www.firstamendmentminute.com/Podcasts/FAM_2007-10-01_Truth_or_Consequences.mp3&podcast=First Amendment Minute&program=Truth or Consequences
I don't think that this podcast would appeal to everyone, but it would appeal to Us History teachers and fans of History. It could be used in classrooms to educate students on real court cases. They would hear real court cases and real decisions and the reasons for these decisions.
I also went to Podcastdirectory http://podcastdirectory.com/ and I noticed that they had a lot more categories. They had art, music, culture, and comedy. They have education as well, but it is not a focus of this site. If I followed a podcast it would be this one because of its diversity.
Both of these sites were easy to use.
