With a vast array of records that we consult to the techniques that we use to solve tough problems, it\u2019s vital that we stay in the know and continually learn. This is a topic that I am passionate about. Had I not taken steps to educate myself from the beginning of my journey, I would not be where I am today with a nicely defined (although still in progress) pedigree and the ability to help others trace their roots.<\/p>\n<p>This is the third in a series of posts about genealogy education.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h4>Podcasts<\/h4>\n<p>A podcast is like a radio show that you can listen to at your leisure on your computer or smart device. Podcasts are a really hot item, and there is no shortage of genealogy-related podcasts. I particularly like the following podcasts that are currently running:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/extremegenes.com\/\">Extreme Genes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amyjohnsoncrow.com\/category\/podcast\/\">Generations Cafe<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/familylocket.com\/\">Research Like a Pro<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019ve also found some great nuggets listening to some location-specific podcasts that have focus on local history.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gratingthenutmeg.libsyn.com\/\">Grating the Nutmeg: The Podcast of Connecticut History<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boweryboyshistory.com\/category\/podcasts\">The Bower Boys: New York City History<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brooklynhistory.org\/podcasts\/\">Flatbush + Main, from the Brooklyn Historical Society<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are many others out there, and the archives of those no longer running are also available. For a pretty comprehensive list, see Katherine Willison\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/moonswings.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/05\/genealogy-podcasts-may-2020.pdf\">Genealogy Podcasts<\/a> (opens a PDF).<\/p>\n<h4>Conference Recordings<\/h4>\n<p>Another way to \u201clisten\u201d to genealogy is to purchase conference lecture recordings. Digital audio files are available for the following conferences:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fleetwoodonsite.com\/index.php?cPath=299\">Federation of Genealogical Societies<\/a> (2011 to 2019)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playbackngs.com\/\">National Genealogical Society<\/a> (2016 to 2019)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fleetwoodonsite.com\/index.php?cPath=402\">International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies<\/a> (2014, 2016, 2017, 2019)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fleetwoodonsite.com\/index.php?cPath=550\">International Germanic Genealogy Conference<\/a> (2017, 2019)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myconferenceresource.com\/search.aspx?searchterms=scgs\">Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree<\/a> (2011 to 2019)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Listening to podcasts and conference lectures while walking your dog or cooking dinner is a great way to multitask and learn a little something.<\/p>\n<h5>Pin It!<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Genealogy Education: Listen\" src=\"http:\/\/julietarr.com\/genealogy\/blog\/images\/Genealogy-Education-Listen_12FDD\/Education-Listen-Pin.png\" alt=\"Genealogy Education: Listen\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Education is important for genealogists to undertake.
