      Best Podcasts - Nicole Hennig

      Introduction

      Welcome to Best Podcasts: The Digital Divide. This guide will point you to some of the best podcasts about segments of society caught in the digital divide. I’ve included chapters that list podcasts about:

      economic class

      ageism (mainly against older people, but sometimes against children)

      by or about people who are incarcerated.

      This is one volume in a set of short books I’ve put together to help you find the best audio programs to listen to (of the many thousands available).

      This guide is for anyone interested in these topics, and also for librarians and educators — anyone who recommends podcasts for other people.

      How to Listen

      If you’re not familiar with podcasts or how to listen to them, read the chapter later in this book called How to Listen for some tips.
