I am obsessed with podcasts; I absolutely love listening to non-fiction audio.  Audio books are great, but there is no denying the take a certain level of commitment in both time and attention.  Podcasts are great for a tight one hour show that I can listen to while I am working on something else.  And boy do I take advantage.

I started off with mostly geek podcasts.  Then every time I picked up a new interest I would search for related podcasts.  I was planning a trip to Vegas and found a few really good Vegas podcasts.  I have been exploring the Law of Attraction and conveniently enough, there are podcasts on that subject as well.

What may surprise you is I don’t even own an iPod.  I listen to my podcasts on my phone (LG Fusic).  I have a set of Jabba bluetooth ear pieces that I can wear as two in stereo or just one for mono.  I load the podcasts on to the expandable SD card and keep it synced with iTunes using a 3rd party program called iTunes Sync.  Then with the phone in my pocket and the audio wireless in one ear I am set to be productive.

It amazes me that the iPhone doesn’t support A2DP.  This is the key to listening to stereo audio through bluetooth.  In fact I would love an iPhone and all the ITunes integration that goes along with it, but I wouldn’t want to give up my wireless earpiece.  Maybe one of you readers will have a solution that fits the bill.
