Who could say no to free audiobooks??
I know, they're not as good as audiobooks. And I still get my fill of those from the library. But in the meantime, when my holds are all still waaaay down in the queue, I can listed to podcasts. Here's my current list of favorites:
- Amazon Music You Should Hear - 2 free [complete] songs that aren't being played by top 40 radio stations
- Amazon Wire - brief but interesting interviews with the people who make movies, music, and books
- Bon Appetit audio podcast - 15 minutes or so of new food trends, restaurants, or cooking tips & entertaining ideas
- KEXP Song of the Day - similar to the amazon one, sometimes local artists too
- NPR: Fresh Air - the radio show minus commercials, current events, notable people, and arts in great interviews
- SModcast - Kevin Smith & his producer buddy Scott Mosier rambling about nothin' much and definitely nothing worthwhile... ;)
I'm sure most, if not all, of these are available to non-itunes users with a google search. Usually you can listen to them free directly from the websites. Have fun!
And so ends my 6-hour day trying to catch up on the past 3 weeks of 2.0-ing. Whew!
