Remember the teacher in school who made you want to attend class so that you wouldn�t miss anything? Not because you might not do well on the final exam, but because you enjoyed the class and you did not want to miss what the teacher had to say. Well podcasting let�s this type of teacher shine.
Looking for examples of podcasts I ran across a teacher named Bob Packett who has an easy going style of presentation that makes you want to come back for more. As some of you may know, I enjoy history, and the part of history I like the most is the "people part". Stories of the people from history who shaped the world we live in today. Too many times people get the idea that these people are just characters in a book, but tese were real people who lived and breathed. This prospective makes history come to life for me. Professor Packett does many of the things that makes history interesting while allowing me to learn the important points that make the events important.
