Customer Reviews
Highly reflective and moving
Some of the entries are, of course, better than others. The better ones are very detailed and moving, and you can imagine yourself there with the Peace Corps member. If you are interested in doing a long term service opportunity such as Peace Corps, JVC, JVI, Americorp, etc. then I suggest you listen to this. Its motivating.
Great Stories from Globetrotters
Compared to the "official" publicity, this podcast comes across as sincere and genuine. The format is an interview, and not reading a script. This podcast also has pictures that change automatically while playing podcast. Fantastic use of the technology here.
