Podcasts

Today I thought I'd mention a couple of interesting Podcasts.

The first is the MPR's "The Current" Song of the Day podcast. They feature a variety of music from both local (MN) and other artists. The music tends to be pretty good and given they release one song every day it doesn't take long to accumulate a nice collection of free tunes from them.

I also enjoy listening to the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast. This podcast features well Irish and Celtic music and comes out once or twice a month. Unlike the MPR podcast it's usually about a one hour solid block of music. Doesn't work as well as MPR for fitting in with the rest of my music, but it's still fun to listen to.

On a less musical note I enjoy listening to NPR's weekly radio news quiz show Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. This radio show features current events, and special guests along with some wacky news. Where else would you ever learn about the Burqini, or scented tires so you can burn some lavender rubber? Plus special guests such as "Elmo", Tony Snow, and Associate Justice Stephen Breyer always have something interesting to say.

That's it for now, I might have some more podcast fun later. All the podcasts are available on iTunes along with through the links I've posted here.
