Current.tv is an online video site. In Navajo Weaving Evangeline Succo teaches her son Ian about Navajo Weaving in a "pod." Current says: "A Pod is a short video that tells a story, profiles a character and/or shares an idea. Current TV Pods are nonfiction video that is anywhere from one minute to seven or eight minutes; it's a self-contained story, a profile of an interesting character or a dose of information. It's like the atom of the Current TV universe. We play Pods on all subjects, in all styles -- everything from first-person narratives to animated political satire. Pods can stand alone to tell a story, profile a person or inform the audience in some way."
