PODcasts

Podcasts have almost taken over television, radio, and even movies as my entertainment of choice. Why? They are almost completely controllable, which means focussable. I choose what sorts of things I want to download, and I take them with me wherever I go for consumption at my convenience. And there is a ton of good stuff. The best of NPR and PRI for instance, and a host of resources that you don't find on TV because it wouldn't sell ads. And it's all free.

Some of my recent favorites:
