Podcast Review

I'm sorry that it is a little late, crazy week with finals and all! I forgot to add my summary of the podcast that I downloaded and listened to in my reflection. A little summary of my podcast... I listened to a Grim Tale: The Brothers Grimm. This was a podcast that was produced by howstuffworks.com from The Stuff You Missed in History Class. The podcast featured two females who gave a brief history of how the two brothers became so involved in fantasy writing. They began as lawyers but after the death of their parents were forced to take care of their 5 siblings. The brothers were not making enough money to support and feed all of the siblings and themselves and while in the library became interested in fiction writing. I feel that this podcast and other podcasts from the same series would provide a fun listening activity for students. They provide interesting usually unknown information in a short period of time. Overall I really enjoyed listening to this podcast and plan on continuing listening for a while.
