I actually discovered the joys of podcasts during my internship in Seattle. I spent many hours alone in a little, ant-infested office behind the house. Online radio is a nice way to jazz up an afternoon, but sometimes you just need a little more substance. I love that podcasting allows you to access speeches, sermons, lectures, radio shows and countless other forms of communication. I learned a great deal during my days in the ant-office.
My favorite podcast is, and I say this shamelessly, GRAMMAR GIRL! If you have not heard the hilarious grammar lessons of Grammar Girl, you are truly missing out on life. They are pertinent to libraries as well. Who knows when a patron will want to know if "Saddam Hanged" or "Saddam Hung." (Sorry...perhaps a grotesque example. But that is Grammar Girl for you! She uses current events, pop culture...you name it!...as examples.)
So, there is my shameless plug. Revel in your Grammar Girl podcasts, if you dare!
