SIVACRACY.NET: The Good, The Bad, and the Podcast

This is a collective intelligence request for all Sivacracy readers. I'm giving a workshop about podcasting this month to UC faculty, and I'm looking for really bad academic podcasts to play as examples for what not to do. So if you've heard particularly bad audio from a lecture, interview, or other academic performance, send me the URL. Bonus points if it involves crinkling of paper and a lot of comments off mike. And -- of course -- if you've heard a really great professorial podcast, one that was clear, engaging, and used the medium of sound for added rhetorical effect in a teaching or other pedagogical situation, send me those URLs as well.

Comments

I think my podcasts are pretty good--both my own Check This Out! (http://checkthisoutpodcast.com) and UBLaw Faculty Conversations (http://ublawpodcast.com). In both cases, though, please disregard the early episodes.

I have a whole lot of very bad podcasts of my lectures!

The problem is, the better the lecture, the worse the podcast. Improv and facial expressions do not work in audio.
