Podcasting is my hero!

I don’t know what took me so long to figure this out, but I should have talked about podcasting ages ago. Podcast was initially introduced as an add-on to iTunes and iPod, however, over time it has emphasized its utility, turning it into the next best source of audio entertainment, and quite possibly, what I assume would be a big step this information age – credible information. As it is, it’s my current must-stay-online-for reason, what with all the variety of things you can actually have access to like music news, audio magazines and books, University lectures (I have some from Princeton and Berkeley – hah! Like I’ve ever been there) and the list goes on.

Many thanks to my friend Byron, I was recently introduced to the LSAT’s Logic for Everyday Life podcast, one of my current obsessions. The title speaks for itself. And QD.com has some interesting lineup. I’m currently up-to-date with Grammar Girl’s segment, which is just perfect for grammar Nazis like yours truly. If you’re one of those kids who’d rather be online than to watch TV, but would still want to watch TV, iTunes, I believe has its share of video podcasts, although only a few have taken the leap. But I’m going to give it three years, you can watch live video podcasts of talk shows and news through this wonderful tool.

So imagine this media accessible wherever you are for as long as you have a portable multimedia player. Watch an episode of Comedy Central through your ipod video while you’re up the mountains! Listen in your favorite radio show while you’re overseas. The possibilities are endless. Man, you have got to love technology now.
