Podcasts

First of all, it's nice to know what POD stands for! So, I went to podcast.com and looked around a little. In their books area I found a podcast about Outliers, the new Malcom Gladwell book, so I listened to that. It also included a discussion of a book about Charles Dickens which also sounded interesting. I don't currently have a MP3 player, so I didn't try going mobile with it, but that might be in my future, who knows!

I also did a search on retirement in Mexico (an interest of mine) and listened to a couple of podcasts from a woman who does programs on international health for baby boomers. One was a telepone interview with a couple in Lake Chapala Mexico and another one was about a woman who was publishing books to support her retirement abroad lifestyle. There wasn't a lot in depth on any of the ones I listened to, but they did give you ideas to pursue elsewhere.

I guess by happenstance I didn't end up with any "vidcasts" so I got to watch pretty swirling lights on the computers screen while I listened.

So, here's another interesting area to explore! I'm getting overload!!
