Week 27: New Evidence, Annotated Playlist

You will create an annotated playlist with links to the podcasts that you are listening to on the wiki. (Provide an analysis of the podcasts on the playlist.)

Your analysis should cover these major components: a) how this podcast episode is organized; b) how the podcast homepage is organized; c) what the podcast producer is saying about the topic covered; d) your opinion on the topic

A clearly written analysis will indicate details on examination of the perspective of the creator, followed by your opinion.
