Week 9 - podcasts - adventure

Where was the Hannibal podcast from Stanford when I was studying Ancient History????? I feel so betrayed.
This is such a cool thing - the new line in online learning. It's not just visual, it's aural - the combination of the two, from a learning perspective is such a great leap and suits all thos edifferent learning types (I may have remembered a whole lot more about Hannibal if I had listened as well as read and he was one of my favourite characters from Ancient Rome).
I did find navigating the iPod downloads a little tricky - not as straight forward as I would have liked.
The Yahoo search worked a whole lot better and I found a great podcast "Hannibal is at the gates" not to mention a whole lot more on Military History - a wonderful door has now opened that I didn't realise was there. This info is not restricted to the sole domain of Universities and other centres of learning, it's out there for everyone, and gloriously free at that. What a great thing!
