Five Lincoln Podcasts from Bloomberg.com

By Samuel P. Wheeler | February 20, 2009

Podcast
Lincoln Portrait

Bloomberg.com has uploaded a series of intriguing Lincoln-related podcats.  I listened to several of them and was impressed; the guests were first-rate, while the conversations were wide-ranging.   

I might also add that these podcasts are quite handy.  You can download the audio files onto your computer for future use and you can even upload the podcasts onto your ipod.  Just click the listen/download prompts at the end of each description to begin listening:
