Three separate times on the tube today, somebody asked me what I was listening to on my iPod (probably because I tend to laugh out loud).
When I explained to them that I only used my iPod to listen to podcasts, they were perplexed: who doesn’t have music on their iPod?
I don’t.
I do have a lot of podcasts, however, and because they asked me to share my playlist, here’s a quick list of what’s playing in my headphones today:
Tech: CBC Search Engine, CBC Spark, This Week in Tech, net@nite, Macbreak Weekly, commandN.
Sports: Pardon the Interruption, Around the Horn, Best of Mike and Mike, Football Today, Tirico and Van Pelt.
Film: mamo! *, The /Filmcast, Cinemaslave.
Culture: Do Right!, Indiefeed Performance Poetry, Mahalo Daily, NPR Pop Culture, This American Life.
Humor: Ask a Ninja, Russell Brand, You Look Nice Today.
* mamo! is my favorite podcast of all time. Seriously. If you’re just starting out with it, go back a few episodes and learn more about the dynamic between Matt and Matt — they’re great.
Do you have any favorite podcasts I’m not listening to? Let me know!

I have to admit, I’ve never downloaded podcasts for my MP3 player. I’ve only listened to them on my computer. When I’ve got headphones on, I’m usually at the gym and then I need really upbeat music to get me going. If I was still living in NY and commuting into the city every day by train, I would totally do this.
you have to add The Sound of Young America (maxmimumfun.org) and Comedy and Evwrything Else

Thanks for the suggestion Saul, just subscribed!
Thanks for your suggestion too Richard. I’m not a huge fan of agriculture-type stuff, but I’ll try and give it a listen for a few episodes. Maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised!
And you’re right Lara, listening to someone talk at the gym might not be the best idea. I got caught up with up podcasts back when I was doing a lot of commuting and traveling, so now I’m hooked!
