I would first like to say, I would much rather listen to JFK to presidents of my generation. I was actually kind of intrigued by what he had to say and seemed to be a man of honor and was set on doing the right thing. But to contrast of JFK, the governor stuck me as closeminded, racist man. The podcast "JFK Persuades Barnett to maintain law and order in Mississippi" is pretty much JFK trying to get Barnett to admit Meredith, but Barnett is reluctant because of fear of not being to control mobs. In the end, Meredith was safely registered.
As to the podcasts, I like how simple it was to find and its ease of use. But for those who don't have itunes and are unable to download it, it may be quite inconvienient. I do like this source also for the fact that it is primary and will be very helpful in the future.
