I have been on this strange run of podcast discovery. I’m not looking for them – actually, I’d rather not find them at all, it’s a bit vexing to have them all queuing up like this – but it seems the last several weeks have been filled with podcasts leaping out at me. Grammar Girl. A Way with Words. University of Oxford. The Uncertain Hour.
And once you open the door, it’s a neverending stream of things. Everything on NPR has a podcast. Serialized fiction. Probably a few educational things out there.
I’m listening to a books on tape series right now. Very well done; interesting and informative and all sorts of conversation fodder. And once again, I am reminded of how well I like listening to things like this in the car.
But it will finish – there is a finite number of CDs in this set (6, to be exact). So I look at all these eager podcasts, all clamoring for attention and promising to be interesting and informative and conversational as well.
And I really wish I could figure out how to connect all the dots between online feed, phone, and car speakers. I know people do it all the time and have done so for years and years, but I still have no idea how it is done.
