15: Podcasts


I was already familiar with podcasts and have several NPR shows set up in my iTunes at home. But what I didn't know was how you can link up the podcasts to Google Reader and access them from every computer you use. I added The Current: Song of the Day podcast to my Google Reader. I hardly ever listen to music on the radio - I'm still stuck with the antiquated format of CDs and much prefer driving, working, and relaxing to music from stereos and car CD players. I hear of new music from friends and family, have a lifetime subscription to Rolling Stone (only $99 til death do us part), and occasionally hear about new music from other new sources. So, this podcast seemed perfect to me - it's another easy way to keep current with new music and it requires a very small time commitment.

I perused some of the directories, but quickly got overloaded with the sheer number of available podcasts. But the Education Podcast Network is something I will spend some more time with. As for creating my own podcast - I really don't like the sound of my own voice so that is highly problematic.
