Podcasts Are Fun and Easy to Use

I had never heard of a podcast until last year.  I was watching Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN and I was getting ready to go out the door to work, and Mike and Mike suggested going to the ESPN website and downloading their daily podcast.  So naturally when I got to work, I googled “podcast” to find out what the heck they were talking about, and then went to the ESPN website to check it out.  My husband is a huge sports fan and is always listening to AM sports radio, and I always complain because the reception is awful and you can never hear what half the people are saying.  So I told him about the podcast.  And now he is hooked.  He listens to commentary on the computer, and he can download podcasts to his ipod so that I don’t have to listen to the awfulness of bad reception on long rides home. 

However, it is only very recently that I have started to download podcasts to my iphone.  Podcast.com has an excellent selection of more than 60,000 podcasts, ranging from daily news to Christian commentary.  I have become a fan of the Drunken Politics podcast, which features aggressive and many times down-right-dirty politics.  (Its great when they they pick my “my friend” Sarah Palin).  Now I know politics is not everyones cup of tea, but with over 60,000 podcasts, there is certainly something for everyone. 

If you don’t know what a podcast is or you still have not downloaded one to your computer or ipod, I highly recommend it.  I am sure you will get hooked.  I am.
