The Almighty Podcast
I'll admit, I have an addiction to podcasts. These days, much of my nighttime news and entertainment come from podcasts. I find nothing more relaxing than taking the old iPod to bed a cranking on a couple of informative or entertaining "pods" before heading off the slumberland.
Of course, there are a few podcasts that I have been attached to lately. One is called "Freakanomics". It is a NY Times sponsored program focusing on the lighter side of economics (hence the name). It contains very interesting content and the "lighter" approach lends itself to a bit of humour....very good podcast.
I also enjoy listening to "Meet The Press". I do catch the actual show on Sundays once in awhile, but when I don't I can easily download the podcast and get caught up on the world issues of the week.
You also can't go wrong with the "Real Time with Bill Maher" podcast. I think that this one speaks for itself, but it is definitely worth checking out. Bill takes his usual approach to world issues with humour and pizzazz....great podcast.
Tonight, I downloaded another episode of "Freakanomics" that I plan on listening to. I also downloaded Friday's episode of the BBC Global News. I just find anything from the BBC interesting.....maybe its the accent....or maybe I'm a geek. Either way, its interesting to hear a European POV on world issues and to learn and get up to date on issues that are more EU specific.
Anyhow, off to listen...

Happy 2010!
Happy New Year! Xmas break has flown by but its been a good one. We made a trek to NYC for New Years, took in a Pittsburgh/New Jersey game and got to see the massive ball (and crowds) in Times Square - although we didn't stay long enough to actually see the ball drop. However it was great times!
On another note, I'm currently watching the Leafs being down to the Flames 2-1 in the 3rd period. You know, its a shame that they do not have better defense because they've been getting some pretty decent goaltending. The Flames are outshooting the Leafs almost 2-1 but Gustavsson is holding the fort!
On a positive note, Switzerland beat Russia tonight in the quarterfinals of the World Juniors. Why do I care? Couple of reasons....#1 being that its always nice to see a hardworking underdog upset a contender and #2, I like Canada's chances much better tomorrow against the Swiss (they beat them 6-0 in the round robin) than against Russia (known for playing tight games against the Canadians.
Anyways, you can catch Canada/Switzerland tomorrow on TSN/tsn.ca @ 5 PM EST!
