Recently I’ve gotten really into the Freakonomics podcast, a podcast by journalist Stephen Dubner and economist Steven Levitt who co-wrote the Freakonomics book. The podcast has actually been around for years and, in my mad quest to get caught up, I’m listening to some episodes from around the 2012 presidential election (simpler times). It’s been interesting to hear about some of the topics people had problems with during that election and how little they’ve changed in the past four years.

The first podcast I ever listened to was Doug Benson’s Doug Loves Movies (iTunes link). I’m not sure why I started listening to it, I didn’t really know much about Doug… Continue reading Doug Loves Movies

In the same way people listen to most of their music on portable media players now, podcasts are becoming more popular by the day and are at the cutting edge of spoken audio content. They’re gaining listeners where it’s well known radio is losing them. And if you aren’t sure what a podcast is, I… Continue reading Podcasts
