From Austin, Texas's local NPR affiliate KUT comes Higher Ed, a "lively and entertaining weekly discussion of issues related to higher education." The show is hosted by Jennifer Stayton of KUT and Dr. Ed Burger, president of Southwestern University, Georgetown, Texas and covers a range of topics related to higher education, including curriculum, pedagogy, college readiness and more. On this website, visitors can browse recent episodes of Higher Ed, arranged by date of broadcast. Recent episodes include an exploration of how one knows if they have learned something; advice from graduating seniors to their former selves (in which Dr. Burger talks about what he heard from recent graduates in a recent event he hosted), and the role of social media in colleges. While these conversations are mainly geared toward four year colleges, some of these podcasts will may appeal more broadly to faculty and staff at all kinds of institutions of higher education.
