Well, I’ve been really busy lately, mainly getting my ducks in a row for the meeting I’ve got scheduled tomorrow morning. In between my marathon sessions reading and clipping stuff to Onfolio for reference during that meeting, I’ve had some time to enjoy my new iPod, and I’ve discovered something…

I love podcasts!

That’s right, me. I know you’ve probably heard me bitch about podcasts before. Honestly, I never thought I’d want to hear someone rant about something I could easily skim in my news reader if they were to write it, but here I am… a loyal podcast listener.

Ok, so it started out with music podcasts. There are these great little things called Mashups out there on the ‘net… Whether it’s Eminem and Franz Ferdinand or Maroon 5, Coolio and Stevie Wonder, you can’t beat these damn things! Let me tell you, they’re the best source of music I’ve had in a VERY long time.

Anyway, now that I’ve managed to break that barrier of hatred towards podcasts in general, I’ve also opened my arms to verbal podcasts as well. While I’m not typically terribly liberal in my thinking… In fact, I’m quite the opposite… I think that The Rampage Podcast is one of the best podcasts or political blogs in general that I’ve ever read. Ocassionally he does get a little too far to the true-Blue side, but overall, I love the guy. Where else can you get a signoff that begs you to get your Republican friends spayed or neutered to help save the planet?

Ahh, yes, good stuff indeed. I’ll have to pull up a list of all the podcasts I’ve got saved in iTunes and get it posted sometime soon, just to share the joy with everyone. And my rant about Odeo… That’ll be an entry in itself!
