Podcasts
Been thinking about joining a book club but worried it is too much of a commitment? Looking for something to add to your environment while out walking the dog or just walking for exercise? How about the SIR Podcast activity?
This is a Zoom activity. It is kind of like a book club for people with a short attention span. Podcasts are primarily something to listen to, and from there they can be anything (like books). We select spoken podcasts that are about 30 to 50 minutes long about a variety of subjects – history, popular science, business, and sometimes a little mystery or humor. Activity assigns podcasts to listen to between meetings and then discusses the podcasts at the meetings. Members rotate responsibility for selecting podcasts, if willing to do so. If this sounds interesting to you join us. Let the Activity Chair know of your interest and he will send you the Zoom link. Also, if you are completely new to podcasts and need some training in how to find podcasts the Activity Chair will be happy to assist.
We meet twice a month at 4 pm on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month via Zoom.
