As I mentioned in a previous post, we moved house in the summer and we now live about 35 minutes away from my school. The journey is not too bad, and I have now found a quiet route that doesn’t get effected by traffic too much. The upside of this is that I am now listening to my iPod Nano a lot more, Hazel got me an iTrip to start the school year, and I now listen to podcasts and playlists on the journey. These make the journey go really fast and are entertaining as well.

I have recently discovered a website that will help with this. Podiobook is a website which takes audiobooks and serialises them in an RSS feed for you to read/listen to at your pace. It is free to sign up but there is space and room to donate to the authors. This seems to be a really great tool for listening to audiobooks and discovering new and interesting books.

Some of my favourite podcasts are:

Battlestar Gallactica Podcast - Great podcast by the executive producer of the show with a commentary on each episode.

Beyond Belief - A BBC Radio 4 podcast of issues and topics surrounding religion.

The Daily Madden - A KCBS Dailly Interview with John Madden on issues surrounding the NFL.

A Different Spin - A podcast by some pupils from my school with an alternative take on the weekly news.

Football Weekly - Guardian Unlimited weekly podcast on football issues.

Godpod - A theological podcast discussing topics surrounding the Christian Faith.

Mark Kermode’s Film Reviews - A BBC Radio 5 Weekly review of the latest cinema releases.

New Scientist - A infrequently updated but really informative podcast about scientific issues.

Intelligence Squared - An NPR Podcast of Oxford Style debates on intellectual topics.

Science Weekly - A Guardian Unlimited weekly podcast on the latest scientific issues.

Stuff.tv - Weekly podcast looking at Technology and Gadgets

The Virtual Staffroom - A regular podcast by Chris about education and teaching issues.
