A few episodes ago, I recommended the podcast called Serial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is the first podcast that I have heard described as one you're going to want to binge-watch. The good news is that there haven't been that many episodes released yet, so you have plenty of time to catch up with the rest of us obsessed fans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lest you think that there's no practical value to listening as a professor, there are plenty of lessons in there about effective storytelling<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"TOP-5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are just checking out the Teaching in Higher Ed<\/a> podcast<\/a> and blog<\/a>, you won't likely experience quite as much suspense as you will if you listen to Serial. However, we have had some great guests agree to come on the show and share their wisdom.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Role immersion games in the higher ed classroom with Dr. Marc Carnes<\/a>\u00a0(author of\u00a0Minds on Fire)<\/li>\n
