Podcasting

I've been discovering the really, really new world of podcasting. And I have to say that it's very cool. I've been downloading all kinds of programs and listening to them at work. At 20 to 40 minutes each, the day just flies by. I love how amateur even the well--produced programs feel. It's like underground radio--anything goes. I've even gotten Tine to listen to a few. It's not like I'm listening to the music programs, either. It's mostly the talk formats that are interesting. Slightly voyeuristic, I guess.

And it's perfect timing, I've been so down on the music I have. I'm feeling it all sucks lately and really needed something new.

Instead of repeating the whole spiel regarding Adam Curry (of MTV fame) and podcasting, you can go here and see the wikpedia entry, which explains it better than I can (and lots of people have linked to for explanation, so that in-and-of-itself is trendy).

I've got about a dozen subscriptions going, but here's a few of my favorite podcasts to date:

Area 51
AirFerg
Croncast
Hometown Tales
Illinoise!

On the down side, because I normally mutli-task at work by churning over Brikwar stuff while doing my job; Listening to some of the podcasts has seriously diminished my Lego-half of my brain and I'm starting to feel majorly guilty over it. Work has been nuts lately and that hasn't helped, but I'll have to get a little more on-track if I want to be part of the next BrikWar game in May.

But I know it's just the newness of it all. I've actually caught up on a few shows where I'll have to wait a week to get my 30 minute fix. But as I have to start spacing them out, my brain can revert a bit back to Lego. This should help—the last couple of weeks have been non-stop because everyone has like 10 shows in their archives and I've loaded up the iPod with them all.

I can't get enough...

Of course it's only a matter of time before I talk Tine into doing it--you know that right?
