The pod cast entitled “Indiana Jones: Saving history or stealing it ?” I found to be very interesting. I found that the pod cast was full of logos arguments, things that, though I had seen the movies, I didn’t really realize. For instance, the idea that Jones and Belloq were in fact very similar, even Belloq saying that he was just a shadowy version of Indiana Jones. I also never considered what Jones was doing as stealing history. I found this pod cast to be great just for making people rethink what they see in movies. Is the character always right in doing what is morally, ethically, and legally correct, or do we ignore this just because we like the character so much.

I also believe that in choosing such a popular film character as Indiana Jones, NPR was able to appeal to a larger audience. Had they chosen a film that was not as popular are as viewed as Indiana Jones, in particular Raiders of the Lost Ark, I don’t believe it would have been as meaningful.

Overall, I enjoyed the NPR pod cast, I found it top be not only informative but very interesting. An element of ethos was added when they spoke with real life archeologists on a dig
