In November or December 2007 I finally caved and purchased my first apple ipod, a silver 4GB Nano. I loved it! After the initial excitement of transferring music CD's (mostly Christian soft rock), I quickly discovered the world of podcasts, which I started to listen to while waiting during errands, or while walking in the evenings. Within a matter of months, 4GB storeage simply wasn't enough, and I purchased a second 8GB Nano in a funky (and slightly irritating irridescent torquise blue). Some of the first podcasts that I enjoyed were: Global National Evening News [Video] (how cool to watch the news on the nano screen in bed just before falling asleep), The Bible Postcast (one chapter per day narrated by Michael Lee), the Dramatized NIV Audio Bible (one chapter per day), CBC's Quirks & Quarks (a science show), GodTalk (featured segments from a weekly local radio call-in show), even sermons from my church were available via podcast!Soon I had more podcasts downloaded than I could reasonably listen to... I had to manually sync from those stored in iTunes on my PC to the Nano. There were hundreds to choose from. If I ever had trouble sleeping, I'd listen to podcasts and drift off, only occasionally scrunching one ear or another as the earbuds eventually fell out.
Eventually I discovered a new website featuring all sorts of neat podcasts, which I will tell about next.
