After spending some time reviewing different podcasts using EPN, Podcast Alley and iTunes, I subscribed to 3 podcasts, one through EPN and the others through iTunes. I realized quickly that it was true that Podcast Alley does search everything, they seemed to have sex podcasts all over the place! Not good for the school environment or when searching for professional development!
I liked the visuals of iTunes and it was easy to subscribe right there! I would like to search some more to really have a feel for the different types of programs, but there seems to be a bit of everything! I have a mp3 player, but not the ipod brand. It might be easier to just have an ipod for the convenience. Regardless, it's nice considering podcasts, as well as music, can be listened to on the go or better when having to wait at the airport!
I subscribed to the Dave Ramsey show for my personal interest because I used to go to his website and listen to his talks or try to catch him on the radio at his normal time. It's nice to have his talks available to me any time I want and his talks are updated for me through my subscription!
Another site I subscribed to was the X minus One podcast. It's science fiction short stories that started with the old radio show, "X minus One" and then moved to adaptations of new science fiction short stories by respectable writers. I'm interested in hearing some of these to get new ideas of how to possibly use podcasts in our classroom for our science fiction genre study.
