One subject that would lend easily to podcasting would be history. I would include history as one of the first units to introduce podcasting. Have students who are studying a period in history write and record journals from the perspective of a person living in that time. By choosing different people on many sides of a conflict or event, the resulting series of podcasts could provide a rich tapestry of perspectives on and reactions to historical events and people. There are a variety of resources, online and otherwise, that provide access to diaries, journals, and other primary source documents that would be useful in creating Historical Audio Diaries.

yes - oral histories would be great, preserved this way - organize them all on a wiki
