Podcasts

Last fall students in College 2.0 developed some fantastic podcasts based on the topics covered in the course and additional research that they conducted during the semester. These podcasts feature interviews and support from expert sources to inform the content.  Many of the stories were enhanced through the use of music and sound effects. The work was challenging, but with the help of Brianna Derr in Bucknell’s IT department, these first year students were able to develop some really high quality pieces.

The topics of the podcasts, along with brief descriptions of their content, and a listing of student authors follows:
