Podcasts

I think I've mentioned these before, but I was updating my playlist for spring cleaning this week and thought I'd share again.

These are the podcasts I listen to regularly:
*Stuff you missed in history class (I personally don't love the older ones that are less than ten minutes because the hosts aren't my faves...)
*Stuff you should know (these guys, josh and chuck, really teach me a lot, and I do enjoy them, but they can get off track here and there, so I have to listen to them in one or two podcasts at a time and no more. I think I overloaded on a long run last summer, listening to 4-5 in one run and I burned myself out on the hosts for a while...)
*Tech Stuff you should know- I don't listen to every one of these, like the history stuff, but I pick out the ones I want to learn about
*Car Talk-I'm not a car buff but these two brothers are very funny and give me a chuckle every episode.
*Here is a list of npr's podcasts-they have a lot of really good ones I've enjoyed.
*One I really like is Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me
*There are also meet the author podcasts which are good, too.
*You can get Rick Steve's podcasts on destinations like articles on Italy, or Speaking Italian.

And they are all free, and as easy as music to download. :) My daughters and I are on spring break this week, and not going out of town anywhere. I have a very long list of spring cleaning I'd like to get done, thus working on my podcasts, play lists, so I can have a lot to listen to while I work. :) I hope you have a wonderful week!

I LOVE those free NPR podcasts. I used to listen to them a lot when I was traveling -- not so much now. Must remember to download them for running -- ha!
