The podcast I chose to listen to was from the National Geographic Wild Chronicles. The podcast was about the Galapagos volcanoes and the evolution of the turtles on the island.  I thought this podcast was really interesting. I considered a few different podcasts. A few  I decided against because I was not interested in them. Some I had already listened to like Skydiving Radio, and Turkey Crossing. I found the podcast through  Mr. Bogush.  He  had suggested  the National Geographic Wild Chronicles and I just searched it and there were about 101 to choose from so I just randomly picked one. Here is where you can listen to the Podcast. I learned that the turtles on the Galapagos islands are very scarce and are slowly dying off, this is because humans used to hunt them for oil.  There are many volcanoes on the island, so if there is an eruption it is important to get the turtles out.  I also learned that The Galapagos Islands are home to many animals who have adapted to the numerous active volcanoes that are present on the island. 

 Here is the email I sent to National Geographic:

I Really enjoyed this podcast and would recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about animals and how there are people  trying to help them, listening to this made me want to help too.

Detractor Blogging; a passionate distaste or dislike of a particular brand or thing.  I don’t like spammers.    Sometimes people get comment crazy and send out  general spams to everybody.  If you are sending a specific message, I think that is ok.  I just wish that people who say that they will comment on your blog if you comment on theirs should just comment first. Maybe someone will comment back. It is a two-way street: you can’t say to give me something and I will give it back.  Sometimes you have to make the first move.
