This is another in a review series I’ve produced from earlier posts on my use of podcasts and podcasting production for learning and teaching.

I’m being mocked by the hubris of a blogpost last week … something about making a habit of blogging etc. Just to keep faith in myself and you, dear reader, here are some quick observations from my part of the world and symptomatic of the busy week in which I find myself right now. Yes
