[irised] Michael Breed Podcasts

[John Lahr]

I want to draw your attention to  the podcasts that Michael Breed is 
generating.  Michael is an Earth Science teacher in Binghamton, NY, 
who runs one of the IRIS AS-1 instruments.  He's made podcasts on 
many subjects for his class (and others) to enjoy.

His Episode 23 - Seismology Rocks! 
<http://www.cvcsd.stier.org/Podcast/mbreed/Secure/Uploads/lgdtesci.xml> 
is all about seismology and his AS-1.

Michael describes below how to listen to his podcasts.

Enjoy,
John
