podcasts

I'll try to make this one fast, since I'm cutting it a little too close for comfort. But these days, I just seem to be in a perpetual state of being tired and it's hard to concentrate on much of anything.
So, about today's topic: podcasts. I must say this was one of the more interesting and...fun topics to cover in my class. It was a more entertaining subject than most of the stuff I have done so far this year, considering that I spend the majority of my time on the computer with a pair of headphones in my ears. Looking at podcast.com and podcastalley.com made me think that I really need to get an MP3 player because of the qualities of podcasts. It was so easy to use and I found some really interesting podcasts.
Part of the assignment was to look up some podcasts by a man named Dr. Henry Oertelt, who is a holocaust survivor, and listen to the first two parts of his book: "An Unbroken Chain." There was a lot of quality to the podcast and I found it to be exceptional; this coming from a guy who listens to audio books on a weekly basis. But it felt like Oertelt was right in front of me the entire time that I was listening to his podcasts and it was hard for me to switch to another tab during them. I know that this guy is the real deal because I have several friends taking a course about the holocaust and they have read or listened to the book. Before doing this assignment, I had heard of his book but had not actually read or listened to it.
When I think about it, I think that at least one of my other professors on my college campus uses podcasts and it would not surprise me one bit if the professor who made this assignment uses it for her lectures. That should wrap things up for now. This is Soneji, signing out.
