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...
