Podcasts--or I don't get it...

but maybe that's because I am a VISUAL ARTS teacher---so while I love to inspire students with music from an era, country or artist, or love to read scholastic art winners richly worded short stories, poems...to inspire the development of visual imagery, I can't get too worked up about listening to podcasts. Maybe I haven't discovered the right site. I mean while I love "This I believe" on NPR and while I did listen to the podcasts of students reading their own "This I believe" (https://digitalvoices.wikispaces.com/spg tace/filelist), and while I know that some students will tune in to learn, study, review....do students of there own volition really choose to tune into podcasts verses listen to music, watch videos or YouTube? And, while I listen to "Books on Tape" on long car rides, I would much rather read or hold a real book to study from than tune in to a pod cast. I promise to keep searching and keep an open mind. Perhaps tomorrow will be the day I discover my "Eureka!"-this is the podcast of my dreams!
