Podcast: WCMRR radio




Well, here it is folks. Maybe this will work, maybe not.
The internship I'm researching for is with The Center for Rural Partnerships. I just did an interview with the editor, Barbara Alan, for Plymouth (PSU) magazine. I've done a lot of research about the railroad's impact on rural life in 19th Century New Hampshire, and America. I learned that the greatest impact was on people's concept of time. Agrarian people no longer could lead a laid-back life, controled by the sun. With the advent of the railroad, farmers were controled by train times and schedules, if they wanted their product to arrive to market on time.
The podcast is directed like a narrated radio show with background music (hope you like Glenn Miller). Enjoy.
