I frequently listen to three podcasts for my personal enjoyment. I probably started listening to them about 2 years ago and I love them. They are something that I listen to while doing homework or instead of listening to the same boring radio. None of these podcasts really apply to this assignment, so I had to do some research and find some that I would use in my teachings. If you are wondering which ones I listen to for your own personal enjoyment they are: The Joe Rogan Experience - He is a frequent podcastor and puts of 2-3 a week and they vary in topics but i find them entertaining. I also listen to the Jay & Dan podcast which comes out weekly and they talk mostly about sports. The last one I listen to is the Monday Morning Podcast by Bill Burr. This is a comedy based podcast. I find all of these podcasts very enjoyable and very funny. Give them a listen if you are interested.
Now to the Podcast for this assignment. The Podcast that I am going to talk about is called "Today in Canadian History". These Podcasts come out almost daily and are hosted by professors, journalists, authors, or everyday historians. Each Podcast talks about something that happened in Canadian history on this day. A couple examples are: March 8th - International Women's Day Edition. This one talks about the history of women in Canada. March 3rd- First Official Indoor Game of Hockey. This talks about the first indoor hockey game in Canada. March 1st - The Great Winnipeg Gold Robbery of 1966. This talks about a gold heist in Winnipeg.
As you can see the Podcasts have a wide variety of what they are talking about, but they all deal with Canadian History. All of these Podcasts are around 10 minutes long. I think this something really cool that you could incorporate into your Social Studies or History classes.
