Andragogical Rabbit

What I learned from student work,  some expectations clarified,  and some feedback elaborated on. 

Again, I used a fast delivery.   Transcript available on request.  

My sabbatical during  Corona left me out of the Zoom boom loop.  The last 2 weeks have been a crash course. This pod presents my meta-zoom observations, and examines the sometimes resistent engagement of both the presenters and audiences.  

We picked up speaking pace because 1) podcast  players allow students to adjust speed of playback, 2)  as in disc golf, I make fewer mistakes when I don't slow down and over think, and  3)  I've noticed many popular podcasters and youtubers present material fast.  Saves time, and New Yorkers get lost when I use my midwestern drawl.  Let me know what you think.     I used the built in laptop mike and edited with Audacity. 

Content for this podcast taken from blog posts at 

but edited to fit bring up to date and for online contexts.  Recorded using USB headphones  directly into  Audacity.

Long promised second segment of Kahill Perkins' experience at the KC BLM protest: interviewed over phone using Google Voice.   Disturbing incidences of violence.  

Loose, rambling debrief ("autopsy") of my first week lesson plan of corona-19 lock-down home-school with my son.  Look for discussion of Ha Jin's work, "Saboteur" at 9:20 point.  Some thoughts on educational theory and the relevance (despite controversy) of this well written and accessible Short story.  See blog post on the collective week's lesson plan at https://rabbitandragogy.blogspot.com/2020/07/adventures-in-homeschooling-contagion.html 

Do sounds from a nature hike detract or enhance presentation? 

Kahill shares her  experience with police violence at the Kansas City Plaza in the form of an interview, such as my classes do for the first step of a Natural Narrative.   Just under 21 minutes long in an interview format.  For full details go to https://tinyurl.com/RabbitA2  

This 18minute episode lays out goals and objectives of this educational but entertaining (edutainment) podcast.  It includes some meta content, text from blog post of same purpose (https://rabbitandragogy.blogspot.com/2020/05/new-podcast-why-motivations-and-purpose.html), and a spontaneous rant taken while hiking the Baker wetlands.
