Some Podcasts Relevant to my Teaching Context

I have started thinking about ideas for my PCK Unit of Work, and one idea I have is an Author Study using Mem Fox. So, in terms of looking for podcasts relevant to my teaching context, I'm running with Mem Fox.

I found a few radio interviews with her, interesting listening if you have enjoyed her books (as a child and now as a parent) for years like I have. Here is a 2010 interview on Darwin ABC radio, and an ABC Radio National interview from 2009. The ABC's Edpod site also has an interview with Mem Fox and Margaret Wild. Good old ABC radio is giving Ms Fox plenty of air time, since I found another interview on ABC radio in Melbourne (2010).

I was trying to find a podcast I could download of Mem Fox reading one of her own books aloud. There is a section on her website where you can listen to audio recordings online, though when I tried they didn't seem to be working. If you'd like to try yourself, you'll can go to her website.

Since I haven't had any luck locating a podcast of Mem Fox reading her books, I thought perhaps I might make that the podcast I create myself - Me reading Mem Fox. If only I can figure out how to do it...
