Podcasts: Part II

This is a continuance on the previous list in Part I of the Resources post. Podcasts are a great way to pass time when you're spending lazy time at a computer, or on a trip, etc. They are also a great way to get information for us auditory learners. I ran into a few great podcasts today that may serve our purposes here. Same rating system applies (see: Resources: Part I)

Resources: Part I

Here's a list of essential resources for the WRAL'er:

NAQT's "You Gotta Know": http://www.naqt.com/YouGottaKnow/
Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page


Podcasts can be a useful tool for the WRAL'er. There are a few that I enjoy, regardless of their application to my bank of usable information. I'll give you my list, feel free to post your own list, along with any other resources you come across (individual pages from Wikipedia qualify, as long as you don't list an ungodly number of them, and they truely are helpful). I'll list a usefullness rating, 1-5 asterixes (5=highest):

-LSAT Logic in Everyday Life *
-U.S. Presidents Podcast **
-The History Network (military) **
-Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean **
