Tema: Revisar la historia es una forma excelente para poner en práctica el uso del PASADO.

Este año 2022 se cumplen 50 años de un invento que cambió la forma de escuchar música. Eso ocurrió en el año 1972. Poco después, en 1979, el mercado se llenó de algo llamado Walkman. 

Hoy en nuestro podcast vamos a recordar algunos de esos inventos en la historia de la música, y compartir algunos hechos sobre su origen. 

Espero que sea interesante para ti, porque para mi... lo fue. 

Este episodio cuenta con un PDF con la transcripción. Si quieres seguir el audio con su lectura, solo tienes que pedirlo. Muchas gracias por estar aquí y por participar con tus comentarios.
Hasta pronto. 
Nos vemos en clase. Rocío.
