Let's Podcast

Is it a sign that you're getting older when you would rather hear someone talk than listen to someone play music?  Lately, I have been getting into listening to podcasts.  I ride the bus to and from school everyday so I have plenty of time to make use of the many wonders of the iPod.  Not all that long ago, I would never have considered doing anything other than listening to some tunes on the bus to while away the time.  Since I've started grad school, however, listening to music just doesn't satisfy me most days.  I have a few podcasts that I listen to regularly, and I now feel like I'm missing out if I don't have a new podcast downloaded.  I find myself searching iTunes for more podcasts I might be interested in, and usually I find at least one new one every search. I've even found free audiobooks in the form of podcasts, which is a little taste of heaven for me.  It might help that I'm in to geeky things like Star Wars and the history of Rome, but there are podcasts of all shapes and sizes.  Maybe someday I could even do my own podcast, although I'm not entirely sure what it would be about.  Maybe a Latin "lesson of the day."  Everyone tells me that I should do radio work.

So, in honor of my newfound love for podcasts, I will try over the next several weeks/months to provide a post about my podcast pick of the week.  Many of them will probably have little appeal to the general public, but I'll try to vary the topics.  Also, if you have a favorite podcast that you would like me to spotlight, let me know and I'll give it some blogspace.
