This week Podcast Wednesday is on a Thursday (been busy) and is about Education. Which is very important. And apparently does not have to be boring any more. The two Podcasts I picked for your this week are going to introduce you to information you may otherwise have never come across. All in a quite easy listening manner.
History According to Bob
History as you wish it was told. Teaching history for over 31 years, Bob Packett does not simply have the experience - he has the insight and talent of keeping an audience interested. Not to mention participating, since there are episodes of this wonderful daily Podcast which provide answers to listeners’ questions. Learn something exciting about the history of mankind every day, told in a much more interesting way than you would find in any textbook. What I found particularly enjoyable is how attention is given to the people who shaped history, not just the the events.
Very nice!

BBC Documentary Archive
The BBC’s “download trial” Podcasts keep surprising me, and keep providing some of the best produced content on a Podcast out there. Granted the terms of use are not as liberal as I would like them to be. The BBC’s disclaimer warns listeners they shouldn’t keep the audio files on their computer for more than a week or do anything else with them other than download for their personal, non-commercial use. However, the BBC Documentary Archive remains an excellent source of brilliant information.
You can browse the Archive for documentaries which might be of particular interest to you, or subscribe to the Podcast Feed so as to keep up to date as new content is added.
