Duke University (Center for Documentary Studies)

Duke University has various podcast listed. These were products of the universities Center for Documentary Studies (CDS). According to the podcast, "The CDS is a program which teaches, engages in, and presents documentary work grounded in collaborative partnerships and extended fieldwork that uses photography, film/video, audio, and narrative writing to capture and convey contemporary memory, life and culture." The podcast listed were about various historical times.

The ones I most enjoyed "Live?Die?Kill? Three Questions in Two Geographics" and "Look Back on 9/11 Across America: An Acoustic Exhibit Presents American Voices in the Aftermath of Attack". The first podcast was done by Karen Michel and it was about the Virginia Tech Bombing. The second podcast was just discussing the 9/11 attack. These were some of the more recent events in history so I figured I could relate to them more.
