| Long abstract | For over a decade now, podcasting has become an increasingly popular form of entertainment and information sharing. An es-timated 57 million Americans currently listen to one or more podcasts on a regular basis according to Edison Research’s “The Infinite Dial 2016.” It’s a safe bet that many of our students al-ready embrace this technology on a daily basis, using their phones to download or stream podcasts on a diverse range of subjects, from comedy to current events, from self-help to his-tory.
