What is a podcast, you ask? Well it's usually spoken shows like audiobooks, but in 10 minute to 1 hour increments. You can get information on running, music, fashion, technology...and more! Here are a few of my favorites.

This American Life: "First-person stories and short fiction pieces that are touching, funny, and surprising."says this source. Not only that, but I usually learn something while I am laughing out loud. So, it's killing two birds with one stone.

The Moth: These are 5-15 minute live stories told by real people. This show started in NYC, and I actually went to a live one the last time I was there and it was hilarious. BUT when you can't make it to the show in the city, this podcast is a good substitute. Each week they have a different theme, so sometimes they are quite touching and sometimes they are just laugh your bum off funny!

Savage Love Podcast: This one is rated PG-13 or maybe even R. It is a call in talk show regarding sex and relationships, hosted by a very vocal and opinionated, and funny gay guy named Dan Savage.
Planet Money - they break down financial issues into understandable stories, such as this one that explained some things about the 2008 recession.
KEXP: A new song each Day!
and many more!

Gosh, even I didn't know there was a Harry Potter podcast!
Do you listen to podcasts? Which ones are YOUR favorites?
I have had an iwhatever for years, and never have used podcasts. I am kind of technologically illiterate. Thanks for this post, I have a long flight coming up, and am excited to find some cool podcasts to entertain me!
