The "Podcasting in Plain English" was short, but very informative. I was not impressed with the podcast.com selections, because they took so loooong to load and play. CNN radio is pretty useful, and right up to the minute. On the morning after Obama's interview on the Tonight Show, they already had a podcast about it. I found a podcast for one of my favorite TV shows, 24. It was voice only, and consisted of two people discussing characters and plots. They talked about the results of a survey on the most popular villain, the least favorite scenes, etc. Interesting, but not something I would ordinarily choose to spend my free time on.
My favorite podcast remains Radio Arlecchino. This was created by the University of Texas at Austin, and offers a variety of different ways to learn Italian. Each podcast covers a particular aspect of Italian grammar, and it can also be downloaded in pdf format and printed. Users have the ability to send questions in by email. The podcast can be delivered to your iPod through iTunes. This is by far the most effective (and least expensive) Italian lesson I've ever found. And I've been trying to learn Italian for nearly 2 years now. Here's the site in case you'd like to take a look at it yourself.
