Ger's Learning Notes #55: Learning podcasts (part 2)
In Learning Notes #53, I shared four of my favourite learning podcasts. A tricky thing to do, because there are so many good ones. What I hoped for, happened: I got a few comments about my choices and some suggestions on how I could have improved the quality. Thanks for that. It challenged me to do a second episode on learning podcasts.
For all suggestions of good podcasts in Dutch (or other non-English languages): I know there are a lot of excellent podcasts out there but, since I serve an international audience, I will stick to English language podcasts. And I’m sure many great podcasts aren’t mentioned in my overview (although they deserve it) but I will cap it at two episodes. I want to move forward with other topics because there is just so much going on in the learniverse.
I’ll share this episode like always via LinkedIn and Twitter and, again, invite you to add your favourite podcast in the comments. Let’s keep sharing to serve our community of like-minded learning pioneers!
