Podcasting has blown up in the past five years to where almost everyone who is moderately in the public eye has one. One reason for this, is that the barrier to entry with podcasting is so small and with Anchor.fm it is free to make a podcast. This is a great tool if you are looking for a fun new interesting way for students to present what they have learned. Anchor.fm also allows for podcasts to be posted on all the major listening apps like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts allowing students to reach audiences outside their classroom and even Granville.
