When my latest iPod bit the dust and found a new home in the trash, I quit subscribing to podcasts because I wasn't listening to them anymore. My replacement .mp3 player did not interface with iTunes and I was not yet completely iPhone savvy. Then my birthday rolls around and my sister gives me a case for my iPhone and the next week my traveling job puts me on the road with no cell charge and in a mild state of panic. A quick trip to the closest Apple Store puts me back in business with a charger and auxiliary cable for my iPhone, one of the perks of finally driving a vehicle with auxiliary input! Within minutes of returning home I was downloading podcasts, somewhere near 30 different topics, ranging from Catholic issues to television shows to entertainment news and food.
One of my old favorites has expanded their lineup and of the twelve podcasts they provide, the only two I do not subscribe to are Mighty Mommy and Traveling Avatar...for obvious reasons! :) These tips, around 5 minutes in length, give concise, practical tips on topics such as finance, dieting, and communication skills, and make my commute much more enjoyable. Priestly friends of mine have formed the catholic underground and their podcasts are just as informative as they are humorous, given my past with some of these guys. Of course the Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, and Project Runway podcasts must be included, else my entertainment savvy mind go into shock from lack of back story.
I'm still looking for a few new ones to add to my repertoire, so all recommendations are appreciated, but I just wanted to take a few minutes to share some of my favorites. I'm currently test running The Moth Podcast, a few from NPR, and one from Whole Foods that I'm really curious to hear. This is my way of geeking out, in my car, alone. Just don't tell anyone, ok?
