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:
