LEARNING VIA YOUR EARBUDS

I've just selected a good list of podcasts to enjoy over the next few months; whenever I can steal a moment away, or whenever I'm working at my desk and won't be thrown off by listening to grammar tips {Grammar Girl}, indie poetry {IndieFeed: Performance Poetry}, NPR's This American Life, or the Ricky Gervais Show. Find your favorites on the iTunes library.
You can choose to learn a language, pick up a new skill like cooking or photography, fine-tune your photoshop skills or learn more about the law. There are so many podcasts to choose from; so many to distract you while running or doing something that takes no conscious thought.

If you see this graphic, it usually indicates that the particular digital or audio file you want to access can be automatically downloaded using software capable of reading feed formats such as RSS or Opera. This is what distinguishes a podcast from any other audio or digital file.
