This is a great example of starting podcasting. I wonder how many will go on to present their own material (we see them reading books in the videos) via or how many may go on to attempt video podcasts? For me the value here is that the material is being presented in an engaging way and can be accessed at anytime, so absent learners need not miss out.

Thx, Doug. Yes, it's great that being ill no longer has to mean completely missed lessons.
