Customer Reviews
Great way to keep up with digital humanities and technology in higher education
The three hosts of Digital Campus do a great job of discussing current news and trends in technology in the humanities and in higher education in general. The news section of each episode is timely, the features section is usually very interesting, and the hosts have different enough perspectives to keep the conversation lively. Digital Campus does a good job of tracking trends over time, too. I don't listen to very many podcasts of this length, but this is one I never miss.
