What a great experience! Laura, John, Justin, Natalie (my daughter), and I did a fantastic job, in my opinion. We based our podcast on the McLaughlin Group (a PBS question and answer show on political issues) with John Reker as John McLaughlin, Laura as the conservative right-wing representative, me as the liberal left-winger, and Justin as the middle of the road, even keel sort of dude. Each of us was up to date on the book and ready to go. We reviewed our questions the day before and came prepared so that we had very few takes, yet there was still plenty of improvisation. What fun!
I am looking forward to using this in my classroom. I can see that students would be excited to participate, so much so that they would be motivated to actually read the assigned material. I think I would start off slow, with just an article or excerpt, before implementing this tool upon reading an entire book. I look forward to sharing this with my colleagues at Moore.
