\nPodcasting totally, I mean totally works for me. It’s gotten to where I almost never use my iPod for music. I play music through my home stereo speakers, but when I’m on the train, at the gym, or walking somewhere, I listen to podcasts.\n<\/p>\n

\nI’ve noticed that people either totally get or totally don’t get podcasts and their allure. Let me summarize for those on the verge of joining the revolution: if you spend any part of your day in a boring place, podcasts will make that time more interesting<\/strong>. I look forward to running on a freaking treadmill<\/em>, partly because it makes me feel good, but mostly because I know that I’ll get time to catch up on my ‘casts! No matter what your interests, there is some podcast of value out there that will speak to you.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe hardest part about being a podcast listener is building a trustable arsenal of content. The ratings services of iTunes or Odeo<\/a> can be helpful, but unfortunately a lot of people also like crappy podcasts.\n<\/p>\n

\nSo I’m doing my part by sharing the ones that make me happy. I’ve updated the “Some Podcasts I Like” sidebar section to accurately reflect what I’m listening to do these days. Some of the stuff that was in there before had gone stale, and I’ve added some new items to my subscription list. I decided I’d give a little more information on each of them here.\n<\/p>\n
