As I was listening to the podcast I was picturing her telling the story. I felt different emotions from when she found out her uncle had cancer to his death, this could have been a different story if he had health insurance.
She pulled me in as a listener.
She started her podcast with a story that had a personal connection before she went into the history of a failing health care system for black America and poor white people. The BASIC carry people needed to stay a live or to bring life into the world, they were not able to get. Their skin color or how much money they had put them into categories. NOT FEAR. She gives details on how the US health system is broken and how a President tried to change it but big business gets in the way.
I have not really used podcast as an educator but I can see how it could be helpful for students. One reason I see this being helpful is a lot of the students I work with struggle to read and love to listen to different stories. The students still get the information just through a podcast.
A change for me
For myself, I don't listen to a lot of podcast because I have not opened that door to make time for them. I know I can listen to podcast when driving to work or before going to bed. I just need to put it into my routine of life. This is a goal I am going to set for myself to get more information through technology.
