In a purely self-indulgent move I have started a podcast and blog called Not Your Mama's Gamer which focuses on video games from a feminist perspective. I co-host the podcast with two smart and funny women (Alex Layne and Sarah White) and we've been having a ball. We have done 3 episodes and quite a few blog posts already and our fourth podcast is coming up this week. Feel free to check us out and let us know what you think.

in digital, pedagogy, podcasts, rhetoric, teaching

I thought you might get a kick out of a podcasting project I'm doing with my English 652 (digital rhetoric & pedagogy class). It was their first time doing something like this, but I think it turned out pretty good. I've submitted it to iTunes, but who knows how long their review process will take. In the meantime, you can enjoy it here or at iTunes.
