\"LIFE101\"<\/p>\n

As most of you who have been listening to the Teaching in Higher Ed\u00a0for a while already know, I'm a huge fan of podcasts.<\/p>\n

I still chuckle when I recall this segment of This American Life<\/a> when Alex Bloomberg shares about his Nielsen families fallacy,\u00a0as well as\u00a0the woman who received a special gift from trained monkeys.<\/p>\n

And who could forget:<\/p>\n

I'll never look at crossing signs the same way, again.<\/p>\n

I've been having fun catching up with The Revisionist History Podcast<\/a> (thank you, Roger Heuser). Revisiting the movie, Memento, with the Very Bad Wizards<\/a> was great fun, too.\u00a0I still could listen to them talk about Mr. Robot on every single episode and not be left wanting, though…<\/p>\n

This week, something amazing happened in my podcast listening universe. Someone<\/a> came out with a podcast that combines my passion for teaching with my love of audio storytelling.<\/p>\n

Mike Wesch<\/a> just launched LIFE101 – Real stories about real students seeking a real education<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Chronicle shares highlights from the first episode<\/a>, though I won't even attempt to capture what's happening in a single headline.<\/p>\n

As I went down a delightful rabbit trail on Mike Wesch's YouTube channel<\/a>, I came across his\u00a0animated story called The Sleeper<\/a>:<\/p>\n
