My podcast is about the amazing journey to Florida. I did many things there, but the best event was seeing the last space shuttle launch. I was so honored and privileged.

That was one of the most exciting trips of my life!

I was listening to this podcast by Daryl Surat on animeworldorder.com and I was looking in the anime that sucks section. They were reviewing (mercilessly bashing) this late 70's anime by Go Nagai named Kekko Kamen.Now I've heard a lot of people rant on and on about anime that they hate,but these guys were incredibly funny. Any real anime fan,who really gets the humor of this great genre around which our lives are central,will laugh at this and will definetly tell a friend how funny it was.

Some of the students at Judge are interested in putting podcasts on Youth Voices. Do any of the students who are doing the Academy Rants at EWSIS or the students from the Baccalaureate School for Global Education have some advice for us? It could be practical advice like how you're using drop.io, how you're adding audio using your cell phones, what you do with it after it's on Youth Voices, what audio editing software you are using, etc. Or you maybe advice on how to make your podcasts listener-friendly.
