KPBS Podcasts!

I just noticed that KPBS has three podcasts available:

A Way with Words
KPBS News Features
These Days

If you are interested in the English language, I suggest you give _A Way with Words_ a listen. _These Days_ is a great interview program focused on San Diego. The _These Days_ podcast now includes the excellent weekly _Editor's Roundtable_. These are excellent podcasts and worth a listen.

Coverville

My favorite podcast is Coverville. Brian Ibbot hosts a show where he plays covers of songs that were made popular in the 1960's - 1990's. Each episode is 30-40 minutes long and typically features 6 songs. You can download and listen to the show episodes by going to http://www.coverville.com/.

Right now they are running a contest to win a 20 GB iPod by answering 6 questions about song covers. I am having a lot of fun answering the questions and it would be great to win an iPod for one of my nephews or neices.

If you want to try out podcasting in more depth you can get a free program called iPodder or if you have a Mac you might want to try iPodderX.
