Podcasts

I have become obsessed with podcasts. If you do not know what these are then I shall explain. They are radio shows for your Mp3 player. This started about 2 years ago when people just uploaded audio clips to their websites for others to listen to but because of the blogging boom and the entire Itunes following, podcasts have exploded in the past 5 months into mythical proportions.

I listen to about 30 podcasts, in fact I have almost stopped listening to music in general and just started listening to people talk. Now there are several types of podcasts. There are the short 1-10 minute updated daily podcasts these are usually news like CNN, NPR, Rocket boom and Cnet. Then you have your weekly podcasts which very in length from about 20-70 min in length. These are on different subjects such as technology, comedy, and triathlons.

If you have not looked these up and you have an Ipod I highly suggest you check them out on Itunes if you do not have an Ipod if you go to any news sight and search their sight for podcasts you will probably find an mp3 format audio file that is the same thing.

Enjoy
