Listen to a peppy tune and an update from the podcaster. We're looking back - or more accurately Listening Back - to then-new podcasts created by students in the Fall, 2021, semester. We'll have links to the podcasts here in the Show Notes.

The Plan was to record and publish this new episode on International Podcast Day 2021 - September 30. But a situation came up that had to be addressed that day. Nighttime brought a chance to record part of this episode before Midnight local time. Looking at the clock I see it's still September 30 on the United States West Coast, so I still have time to publish this International Podcast Day 2021 episode on the day itself. Enjoy our first episode in 7 years! We'll be back soon, really.

The Endless Road Podcast went on sabbatical 7 years ago. It now appears that we misunderstood the 7 years aspect of a sabbatical and have taken a 7-year break from producing new episodes. Someone suggested we read the definition of "sabbatical" more closely. Surprise! It turns out that a typical sabbatical can be taken after working for 7 years, but it only lasts for 1 year or less. Oops. So we're dusting off the recording equipment and getting ready for our next episode of The Endless Road Podcast. I haven't been out to the garage to see if our good old car starts up after 7 years, but...

At Franciscan University of Steubenville we met another new podcaster, Peter Burke, who's going to get us thinking about events, cultures, and more. (3:33) Production note: This episode was recorded to demonstrate recording with AGC (Automatic Gain Control) turned on. I hope you'll hear why it's not a good idea to use AGC when recording. When AGC is turned off, the recording app is an excellent recording tool. I frequently use it with my iPhone. Jim Coyle

My Plan: Grade student projects and Exams in the quiet of home. The Reality: Not so quiet. Whose idea is this?

Traveling often brings the potential for experiences and unforgettable memories years later. Sometimes they're good, sometimes not so much. Jacob Popcak was a sleepy traveler in for a big surprise. (4:35)

I'm celebrating good news I received this morning - but felt somewhat guilty about celebrating, considering great difficulties some of my dear friends face. But shouldn't we remember and celebrate with our friends the good moments in their lives? Shouldn't we celebrate life itself? (8:05)
info_outlineHurricane Sandy hit the Northeast U.S. a few days before Franciscan University's Fall Break, affecting many students' travel plans. Today we're following up with Lana who, in our last episode, was waiting to hear about a new flight home. Things turned out differently than she expected. (3:58)
Personal Note: Recovery from Hurrican Sandy will be a long and emotional process for many people in the Northeast. Our prayers go out to them, and I encourage everyone to help in some way, sharing their time, talents and/or treasure to help people rebuild.
