Tune In To...Podcasts

So you know what form of media saves my brain on a daily basis? Podcasts. And if you have an iPod or an mp3 player or hell - even a computer - and you listen to any podcasts, then you're really doing yourself a disservice.

Podcasts are basically Internet radio shows. You can find a ton of them on iTunes. And what's great about them is that you can find a podcast on practically any topic - from travel to sports to arts and entertainment and more. What's even better is you can find many podcasts that focus on very specific topics you enjoy - like a certain tv show or car or travel destination or book series. There are also plenty of podcasts that can teach you a thing or two - like history, current events, or even how to speak a language.

But the best thing about podcasts? They're free. Yup. That's right. Free entertainment.

So for these reasons, and many more, I am a big podcast fan. I leave you today with a list of podcasts I currently subscribe to, and I'd like to hear about any you may enjoy - I'm always looking for new ones to download. And if you've never listened to a podcast, I highly suggest you head over to iTunes and give one a try.

The DIS Unplugged - A Disney podcast, and my favorite podcast period.
WDW Radio - Another Disney podcast, great interviews here.
All About the Mouse - Yet another Disney podcast.
Mugglecast - A great Harry Potter podcast.
That's What She Said - A great podcast about the NBC comedy "The Office".
Stuff You Missed In History Class - Great history podcast.
Stuff You Should Know - Always entertaining and informative.
Stuff Mom Never Told You - Another very informative podcast.
NPR's Wait, Wait, Wait Dont Tell Me - Very funny game show involving the news.
