I am considering setting up a lunch time activity for students where they will listen (in advance) to podcasts and consider the knowledge within them. I envisage trying to engage students with a range of podcasts covering specific subjects like History (e.g. Empire), Economics (e.g. Freakonomics), the Arts and Science while also engaging in podcasts that look at how knowledge is developed, communicated and applied, e.g. Rationally Speaking. I would like to host a session where ideas are exchanged and good podcasts are identified that will attract and stimulate our students.
