Past Cast
It seems like everyone’s podcasting these days, and I’m certainly not to be outdone.
Actually, my first podcast was a few weeks ago over at Operation: Red Washington, but I hadn’t actually listened to many podcasts until my recent purchase of an MP3 player, which has opened up a whole new world to me–kinda. I was surprised to discover that the subjects which interest me in blogs don’t hold the same interest for me in podcasts. Thus, I haven’t listened to many of the political podcasts that you might expect (as I noted a while ago, though, interviews such as, say, this one, do hold my interest quite well.)
Instead, the podcasts that interest me are the ones that have to do with subjects that interest me, but not in blog form. History, for example, is something I am certainly interested in, but few history blogs have held my interest. Podcasts, on the other hand, are a different matter.
And so, I’m very pleased to announce PastCast.net, a joint venture between myself and my lovely history-teaching wife. Every week, we’ll be examining historical figures and events via songs, speeches and other audio. Today’s podcast is on Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday was yesterday. And I assure you, any resemblance to any other husband-wife team podcast relating to Lincoln is purely coincidental.
At any rate, you can subscribe to the Past Cast feed with this link, which I highly encourage. The Operation: Red Washington interview podcast is more sporadic, but there should be another installment later this week. That feed is here.
