I used to be hooked on podcasts. Somewhere in the moving to NYC process, I stopped listening to podcasts and I'm not exactly sure why. But I'm back and more committed than ever. Although, I may have gone subscription overboard this time, as I have 200 unlistened to podcasts waiting for me in iTunes.
On the way to work each day I listen, watch and engage with podcasts from my iPhone. I am especially enjoying videocasts like Mahalo Daily, TEDTalks and Geek Entertainment TV. The video keeps me more engaged with the content, because with audio podcasts I often miss parts because of my eyes and mind wandering as I get on and off the train, dodge people on the sidewalks... etc. When there is video with the audio, I simply miss my trains and bump into people on the streets because I am damn engaged. Ha.
What brought me to writing about podcasts today was an inspiring interview I listened to on The Accidental Creative podcast with author, teacher and consultant Peter Block (Podcast #99). He discusses how to act on things that matter, and now I am ready to take on new personal challenges. Of course I went to Amazon today and bought Peter Block's book- "The Answer to How Is Yes: Acting on What Matters."
Thanks Podcasters,
Your time, effort and personalities make me a more motivated and knowledgeable person everyday.
If you have a podcast, leave me a comment with the iTunes feed and I'll subscribe-- if I'm not subscribed already. :)
