The Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University has numerous podcasts that can be listened to for obtaining valuable information about history. The various podcasts cover different historical times. The podcasts that I listened to were organized and well presented. Some of the topics covered tragedies such as the Virginia Tech shooting, 911 and racial problems and prejudices.
These podcasts would be helpful to students taking history classes in high schools and colleges. Students can learn how other students study history. Many of these podcasts discuss how to overcome barriers and prejudices in hopes of changing the ways of thinking and how people are treated. I enjoyed listening to these podcasts and will use them when I teach.
