On Tuesday, I had the pleasure of hosting a show on Ustream.tv of the New Hampshire primary. Throughout, I called in various folks, including Ethan Bodnar and Vicki Davis, to discuss issues ranging from educational standards and evolution to candidates’ understanding of technology. It was a great experience which definitely was more fun (and enlightening) than just watching the polls on CNN. On the Republican side, McCain took an easy win. However, the Democrats had it more hotly contested between Obama and Clinton—the close competition kept the show going until 23:00 EST. If you would like to see how students saw the New Hampshire primary, I invite you to watch this video:
Hopefully, I can host a couple more of these discussions as we continue into the elections. If you don’t want to miss the next one, be sure to monitor the twitterverse.
Unfortunately, I lost my chat transcript and am unable to share it. If you were there and have a copy, please contact me.
I really enjoyed your show Arthus. I joined late and had to put my kids to bed part way through, so thanks for posting this so that I can see what I missed.
Keep us posted on Twitter about upcoming shows. Are you keeping your focus on politics or are there other areas of interest you plan to pursue?
Thanks, David. I’ll be sure to tweet any shows I have coming up.
Personally, I will primarily be covering politics in my shows. However, stay tuned for Students 2.0 to be having a show and podcast soon.
