I’m featuring university podcasts from HigherEdPods in my reviews this week, and today we make our way west to the University of Oregon.

Flock Talk

First of all, the school gets bonus points for totally embracing their mascot and duck puns, with not just the show name but the topics they cover. The episode I listened to is about student orientation, or “introDUCKtion” in their parlance. It’s really well targeted for incoming and recent students and their parents. Also well coordinated are the paid ads supporting the show - this episode had internet service and a hotel in the area of the school, both very relevant for that student and parent audience.
