Podcasts and Audio Resources with Discovery Education

This discussion came up on the Discovery Education Network and I thought I would share it.  A link to the full discussion thread shown below.

Podcasts and Audio Resources
Educators know more than anyone that we must keep learning.  The genius of podcasts is that they are both personal and professional-- blending narratives with advice needed to be better at our jobs and just better people.  And the best part? You can listen to them anywhere. I walk and listen to podcasts often. Be careful!  I walked into a ladder while on my phone this past Spring and needed stitches! 
Do you use podcasts in your teaching and learning?  Have you created one?  What are your favorites?  In this discussion, provide us with some links to your favorite podcasts and let us know why you love them!

Stuff You Should Know: Podcast series providing informational conversations between Chuck Bryant and Josh Clark. They explore the history, facts, misconceptions and opinions about a variety of topics- primarily science-based but also relevant for social studies and health classrooms. These podcasts allow students to dive in and learn more about a topic they’re interested in. Students could do additional research on the topic and then share back with the class.
Stuff You Missed in History Class: Tracy Wilson and Holly Frey team up for conversations about the greatest and strangest things that you missed in history class. The stories are an engaging way for students to learn the untold stories that add details, perspective and depth to the historical time periods they’re studying. These episodes can also be a great way for students to connect historical events to present-day issues.
Weston Woods Audio Books:  A variety of K-5 titles allow students access to stories that may be out of their reading level. These resources model strong reading fluency, set the tone and allow students to explore the tone and mood of a story without struggling through difficult words. Audio files are great for using in stations- you might ask your students to illustrate a scene from the story or pause partway through and ask them to write the ending.
