Thanks to a bit of a kick in the pants<\/s> useful advice from Professor in Training<\/a>, I’ve recently discovered the wonderful world of podcasting. (Late adopter, moi?). So I thought I’d share my discoveries, and open up the comments to suggestions of further subscriptions!<\/p>\n

The first thing I discovered is that I simply can’t listen to spoken word podcasts while doing, well, anything, really. The second I start typing, or reading something interesting, or even thinking too hard, I just stop listening in any detail. This inevitably results in the episode ending, or the studio audience howling with laughter, and me having to go back to the beginning to work out what was said. I need to listen to these podcasts when I’m doing something that requires minimal concentration – cooking works, as does taking the bus (although that’s the only thing it’s good for). I’ve just bought one of those waist strap pack thingies for my iPhone \/ keys etc., so I’ll try listening while exercising too. I imagine that circuit training will be OK for spoken word, while cardio will require music. We’ll see…<\/p>\n
