PODCASTS! I heart podcasts!

A few years back I saved and got an iPod nano! I loved it! Then the iPhone came out and I wanted one soooo bad, I had to have it. About a year ago I got one! I was so excited and I still am. One of my favorite things to do is to listen and/or watch podcasts. I wanted to take a few minutes and mention the ones I listen to on a regular basis. I'm gonna list them in alphabetical order so I don't play favorites. They are all from iTunes (I don't even know where else to look for podcasts...) Let me know if you check any of them out and what you think. Also, let me know about some of your favorites.

The Coolest Stuff on the Planet: video: again from How Stuff Works (HSW), sorta a travel and mini history lesson of places all around the world, it is a slide show format not an actual video is the only think I don't like about it, typically 5 to 10 min each segment at end for viewer mail
