Blog Prompts:

1. Which podcast(s) did you listen to?

MPR's In the Loop with Jeff Horwich

2. Which of the directories did you find easiest to use?

They were all pretty easy to use. I enjoy listening to MPR so that is why I chose it.

No podcasting myself, but I can see listening more to different podcasts.

4. If Walt Whitman were alive today (which I am certain that he is not), do you think he'd podcast? If so, what would he call his podcast? Would his parents listen to it? Why or why not? Discuss.

I have to admit that I do not know enough about Walt Whitman to answer this question.
