Podcast for seminar 1

PBS is an American TV network offering, amongst other things, a variety of documentary programs. They offer a history series called American Experience for which there are short audio previews. These extracts are often well thought out and are all available for podcasting. Do try it out, you can access the podcasts through the website or through i-tunes ( by going on the i-tunes store and searching for "american experience").
The 4th of July 1826 was a momentous day : the Americans were celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Find out what else happened that day by listening to the summary.

I usually enjoy their frontline series that you can watch on the web with windows media player or realplayer. Some of the shows I found most interesting were on the Mormons, the Irak war, Karl Rove, the "persuaders" (marketing gurus).
