The Future is Podcastic

1) I'm alive.
2) I've been a slacker.
3) I just discovered Podcasts.

For the uninitiated "a podcast is a series of digital-media files which are distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and computers. The term podcast, like broadcast, can refer either to the series of content itself or to the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also called podcasting." [Wikipedia]

Basically it's audio and video content available for your iPod that you can subscribe to, usually for free.

Since I found out how awesome these things are I immediately subscribed to about 20 of them. Now I have videos about scientific discoveries, audio of ESPN's PTI, hip hop videos, and a bunch of others. Seriously sweet. I'll try to make some recommendations once I try them out, but this is the biggest advancement in my life since netflix.
