I've been so sleepy all day
Nov. 13th, 2013 07:07 pmI have become completely entranced by this iTunes U podcast from Yale on the early Middle Ages. I listen to it all day at work, seriously, for hours. (Does this link work?) The professor is such a good speaker and is clearly so knowledgeable about the minutia of the field ... it's wonderful. Plus, it's an eternal lecture with no discussion section where I am never expected to speak up, what could be better?
I did Challenging the Canon the other day, and that was shorter but equally fascinating.
Listening to podcasts has brought me back to my fashion history podcast/YouTube lecture idea. I've come much farther in my script/notes for the first one, and have a list of images to use for illustration as well ... but I hate my voice, it's so high-pitched. Still, I think I would be good at it in general (she said modestly). Also, I just found out that LACMA, at least, has a collection of public domain photos on Wikimedia, yay!
