The assignment this time is to nominate one YouTube video and one podcast and say why.
For a YouTube video, I propose the tour of Cambridge University's Social and Political Science Library, presented by Jenni Skinner. The SPS Library is a sibling of the library in which I work, and seeing what they could do, when they first loaded this video, inevitably gave me ideas. In the Haddon, the ideas have so far come to nothing, but perhaps some day we might rise to the occasion.
For a podcast, I nominate a brief extract from David Hendy's documentary about BBC Radio 3: a recollection of continuity announcers Tom Crow and Patricia Hughes. When they were active, I was in my teens, and much more drawn to radio than to television. Podcasts are the 21st century's adaptation of that medium, and I can't think why I haven't explored them more.
