Podcasts

Have you ever browsed through the free podcasts available to anyone on iTunes? These wonders of technology now allow the day's news to come to you instead of you going to today's news. You know that commute to work, the one in which you get tired of listening to talk show radio or the same music over and over again? Now, instead of wasting time at your computer checking out the day's news, you can listen to it on the way to work. Even better, you don't get to pick what news topics you read. Instead of guiltily clicking on the web browser tab that links you to last night's story about who won Dancing with the Stars, certain podcasts choose the day's top stories. Simple, easy, straightforward. Voila.

Some podcasts are informative. Some are funny. Some talk about news, some about sports. There's a podcast for just about anything. The difficult part is deciding which one you would like to listen to today. Before I got into podcasts, driving a long distance was a hassle. The same old music got boring and cell phone tickets got expensive. It's the easiest way to multitask. Can you listen and drive? Good, I have the perfect product for you.

And then, just like that, you forget to download your new podcasts. That drive you once excitedly anticipated becomes so much longer. So be careful not to leave those juicy podcasts at home, or you may find yourself twisting that radio dial again, scolding yourself for your ineptitude.

Hearing just became your most valuable sense.
