It’s time for you to check out the new episodes of several genealogy podcasts. If you haven’t finished listening to the ones listed in last week’s Genealogy Podcast Roundup, don’t worry! One great thing about podcasts is that the episodes tend to stay online, and accessible, for a long time.
Genealogy Guys Podcast released episode number 224 on July 16, 2011. This episode was done in front of a live audience, and was recorded as it was going on. It took place at the annual Summer Institute of the Dallas Genealogical Society in Dallas, Texas.
Arizona Public Media has a podcast that talks about a “Bloomsday” celebration. This takes place on June 16th every year, and involves readings from the book “Ulysses” by James Joyce. He is Ireland’s most famous writer. In Tucson, Arizona,“Bloomsday” is also a celebration of Irish heritage. I highly recommend listening to this very entertaining episode!
