I often saw links for podcasts on sites such as the New York Times, but had not listened to them till today. Even though I do not own an iPod, it is fun to be able to listen to missed broadcasts at my convenience. I am an MPR/NPR "junkie" who listens often at home and on the road. After being at the Minnesota State Fair on Monday, I enjoyed listening to the goats in the background on the Friday podcast from the Minnesota Public Radio Morning Show today. The Morning Show was broadcast live from Jackson a few years ago in the local theater during a community celebration, so it was fun to see how the sound effects are done. Mike Pengra, the producer, is a Jackson native, and I knew Dale Connelly years ago when he worked at MPR station KRSW located in Worthington.
I enjoyed browsing the On the Road With MINITEX podcasts, and finding their Southwestern Minnesota road trip with familiar folks such as Amanda Raetzman at Willmar and Mary Rae Oxborrow and Chris Lang at Worthington. I hope to return to the MINITEX site later to spend more time.
On my Google Reader page, I have links to podcasts, so will try to go there more often to listen to current news ones.
