I have to admit I was never much for school, it was basically a place for deep daydreaming BUT I have always loved to learn. I know that seems at odds but I guess I just like to learn on my own time, at my own pace and of course best of all-- what I want to learn. That's why I am so enamored with Podcasts. Some of you may have delved deep into this well of goodies and others may just be finding out about this fount of information.
For those of you just finding out about this glorious resource and those of you who are "in the know" here is my favorite podcast and favorite podcast resource but first, you may want to download a free receiver. I am on a Mac, so I have I Tunes, but I also downloaded
JUICE it downloads and keeps the podcasts organized and also allows me to get new ones when they air (it's like being able to program your own radio
station!) click on the lemon logo and it'll take you to their site.
I like to listen while I work, I figure that by osmosis I may be getting smarter by the minute (podcasts are generally quite short and sweet). One of my very favorite's (and one I need to pay extra attention to) is 'Grammar Girl'
. She answers many questions that stump even the most erudite (that would not be me). I find her podcasts to be fun and always learn something new, which I LOVE! Really, I may not have bought a new house today or any other barometer of 'success' but if I learned something new (hopefully it's relevant to my life as well) than I feel I have accomplished something. Now, if I could only feel that way about exercise I'd be on to something...
If you'd like to find more free podcasts, I highly recommend
PodCast Alley You can download 'Grammar Girl' and many others. Learn French Spanish, Italian, how to cook, craft, it's really amazing, I hope you learned something today.
Remember I am trying hard to keep my blog updated so if you have any questions you want answered on the blog, this is 'The Everything' after all, so all subjects are pretty open. Please feel free to email me and I will try to oblige.
