Each month, Clio will highlight the latest episode of the Journalism History podcast and recommend a set of episodes from the archives. The podcasts — available on the website and through many podcast players — are excellent teaching tools, easy to add to your syllabi. Transcripts of each episode are available online. 

In the latest episode, How the Other Half Lives, historian Keith Greenwood shares the story of muckraker Jacob Riis and his famous photography examining How the Other Half Lives.
