"Satisfy my Soul..."

I am a regular listener of podcasts.  Like this picture of Knotts Island, they satisfy my soul.

For the uninitiated, podcasts can be downloaded from iTunes and synced to your iPod/Phone.  All of mine are free. I listen to them at my desk while writing, on my daily walks across the George Washington Bridge, and on long car trips.  Podcasts provide me with a delicious mix of news, opinion, ideas, and entertainment.

Following are highlights from my playlist.  Although I regularly listen to them all, I've put an asterisk next to my favorites: 
  • Apple Quick Tips (video)
  • Best of YouTube (video)
  • Bill Moyers Journal*
  • Front Page (a daily update of the NYT front page)*
  • Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips*
  • Money Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips
  • The Moth Podcast (true stories told live without notes)*
  • New Yorker: Comment
  • 7AM News Summary (NPR)*
  • Fresh Air (NPR)*
  • Planet Money (NPR)*

  • Simon Says (NPR)
  • Story of the Day (NPR)

  • Only in New York (NYT)
  • Suze Orman & Oprah Financial Podcast
  • Pen on Fire (writers)
  • The Best of Our Knowledge (PRI Wisconsin Public Radio)*

  • This Week in Tech (Leo Laporte & the TWITers)
  • Times Talks (NYT)
  • Radio Lab (WNYC)

Enjoy!
