The National Science Teacher Association has started a “new series of conversations with authors of NSTA Press® books.” The series is called Behind the Books and so far includes converstations with:
- Tomas Bunk (illustrator) and Arthur Eisenkraft (one of the authors) of Quantoons: Metaphysical Illustrations [mp3]
- Karen Rohrich Ansberry and Emily Morgan, authors of Picture-Perfect Science Lessons: Using Children’s Books to Guide Inquiry [mp3]
They are nice productions. But I have one complaint. They are calling these things podcasts, however I do not think it means what they think it means. They have the audio files but I can’t find the RSS subscription file on their website or on iTunes. What’s up with that, NSTA? Where’s the syndication?

Jason:
You’re right. We neglected to add the feed, but we put one up today. Please let me know if we’re on the right track.
Best,
Tyson
It still isn’t a podcast. Their feed doesn’t have enclosures or itunes tags. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_Enclosures
I know Wisconsin’s science teacher organization has a podcast.

Thanks Dale. I’ll check out Periodicity. Sounds neat. And Tyson tried (http://www.nsta.org/main/xml/NSTAPressBehindTheBooksPodcast.xml), but the XML file must be malformed. Maybe someday it will work.
