Mrs Mungo Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I love the They Might Be Giants Friday Night Video podcast! My kids love watching it on Saturday mornings when they get up! I also recently discovered (under podcasts for running) a couch to 5K program with voice prompts letting you know when to switch from running to walking. It's great! There are actually a few different ones, one of them (by Suz) had explicit music. I downloaded the ones from Robert Ullrey and DJ Steve Boyette (two different podcasts). The latter podcast *also* has a "gateway to 8k" podcast for when you are finished with your 5k program! There are also some great 30 minute long yoga classes available on video podcast! There's the guys from Cartalk, there are Spanish lessons, Presidential speeches, history lessons, there is something for everyone! I know, I'm a dork. Although I've known about podcasts for a long time I've only just recently checked them out and am spreading the news. What podcasts do you like/love/subscribe to? eta: I think I'm going to use the "start cooking" video blog to teach my daughter's to cook!

Jenny in Atl Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I love Car Talk! And Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me. We also do a bunch of work out ones with beat heavy music. Some are so bad.. I feel like I'm having a heart attack. :lol: http://www.digitalpodcast.com/ This is a huge directory of podcasts to look through. Too much to listen too, not enough time!

LizzyBee Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 My favorite is Grammar Girl. It sounds nerdy, but she actually makes it fun and interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricket Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 My dad got me started on the podcasts from White Horse Inn.org. It's four guys sitting around discussing different topics about theology. The current series is titled Christ-less Christianity. (Let's just say they don't like mainstream Christianity and Joel Osteen.) I guess if you don't agree with their theological point of view, it wouldn't be very fun to listen to. :001_smile: I started listening when I was doing mind-numbing data entry work from home and needed something to occupy my mind.

Sarah CB Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 The only podcast I listen to is from The Christian Educator. I've really enjoyed the latest series on teaching with a Christian worldview. A bonus for new listeners is that he'll send you a free copy of Discipling this Generation for a Digital World if you email him and tell him how you came across his podcast. That book was probably the most thought provoking book I've read on what kind of world our kids will be entering into and how we can prepare them for the future.
