They can keep me busy for days and weeks and months. But the time! That’s where these podcasts prove their value to me. I can listen to them during my daily trip to and from work. From the time I go out my front door until I sit down at my desk at work, I can listen to about 25 minutes worth of podcast. If I used the same time period for reading, I could read about 4 minutes on the Metro and 8-10 minutes on the train. I have been known to read on the walk from the train to the office, but that is only possible with easy-to-handle books – and not on a rainy day! The podcasts are a relaxing way to spend my journey.

Thanks for referencing it on LW list. I enjoyed reading it. I love podcasts, but couldn't imagine chaining myself to the computer to listen to them, they're like portable knowledge or entertainment snippets (sometimes longer). Great post, Karen!!

I also listen to podcasts while driving to and from work and find it enjoyable. About a month ago, I surveyed users on how they listen to podcasts, and the majority said they listen straight from their computers. I found this surprising, so I'm glad to hear your experience. I'm also glad to see that you have a WordPress blog. Nice choice. Looks great and I'll keep my eye on your upcoming posts. Thanks for your comment on the podcast, Karen.
