History Teacher Becomes Podcast Celebrity

I was reading the New York Times and i stumbled upon a technology article. I thought it applied to us, at least mildly, so i thought i'd put a post up on it.

This article focuses on Lars Brownworth, a teacher from Stony Brook. It is a really great article about a his rise through the ranks and establishment as a truly powerful podcaster. His podcast is called 12 Byzantine Rulers. "In the digital era, this self-taught amateur has emerged." This is a great example of how anyone can learn this technology and be successful.
This is a very interesting article and it makes reference to other educational podcasts like “Word Nerds” and “Grammar Girl.”
