Absolutely Intercultural Podcast
Absolutely Intercultural- 148 in this podcast, episode 148, the speaker and one of her guests from Louisiana discuss the speaking of Cajun French in the United States in reference to class and social perception. I think that this podcast would be useful in displaying to my students during the time of Mardi Gras because it gives them an insight on different perspectives of language in their country. It would be interesting to ask their opinion of what they think when they hear someone speaking a language they dont understand before they listen to the podcast, and then compare their thinking after it is over. Class discussion with student opinion are always fun and interesting to see different points of few. I really enjoyed that this podcast used one main narrator along with different interviewee's to gain multiple insights on one subject- actually bringing in the subject area to back up thoughts. This could inspire some interesting in-class discussion or writing tasks.

This podcast on social perceptions sounds intriguing. I like your idea of getting opinions before and after the podcast. Another way this could be done would be to have the students blog their answers to some specific question that you pose concerning dialect, registers, etc. and then have them blog again after the podcast to see if their perceptions have changed.
