I’ve been listening to podcasts for some time now. They seem to fall into one of a few categories. The first category is the one with Educational consultants, folks who present, write, and listen to this stuff for a living. Podcasts/Netcasts/Webcasts seem to come with regularlty and come often. One might posit that it is good or business, another might posit that we teachers need a steady flow of information from those that sit in the watchtowers.
The second category are podcasts from teachers, intending to share what they know or how they feel about a particular topic. These shows seem to start strong, and then eventually fall by the wayside. Then, on a stroke of feeling guilty, the show’s creator does another good show, and mentions how he or she will try hard to do better in the future.
I have been debating the future of the open source classroom dot com podcast simply because life got in the way. If you’ve read my blog, especially my post about the nature of relationships, you’ll see that my God is my first responsibility, followed by my family, and then comes the rest of this fun stuff. That’s why I am writing this before the sun has even peeked out of it’s slumber.
So I have come up with a new format. Hear it in this episode. Like it? Comment. Something I can do to improve it? Tell me in the comments.
Thanks for being faithfully here with me, I appreciate you all very much!

Sounds good to me – In my experience, listeners are willing to forgive lower quality recordings for podcasts.
Of course, now that you’re willing to podcast in the car you might just find yourself recording much more often.
