I really like iTunes, my iPod, podcasts, and all of the options that they bring. Name a topic, and there are some free podcasts available for download through iTunes and countless other ways. What I’m finding particularly enjoyable is to get my iPod, an interesting podcast, and listen while I do household chores like folding laundry and doing dishes. What once were rather dull tasks are transformed into learning opportunities or leisure time. You can get so many audiobooks now that it boggles the mind. If you can plug your iPod into your car, traffic and lengthy drives become entirely different experiences. Give them a try if you haven’t already. But do be careful about driving if you are listening to some “dense” audiobooks. If too much attention is on the audiobook, then you won’t be paying enough attention to your driving!
