When I get a chance to take a long walk or bike ride by myself, I like to bring my iPod (no, I do NOT own an iPhone, I refuse to purchase one until you can buy one without a data plan or buy a new one that uses prepaid cards) and list to podcasts. Podcasts are, I suppose, a kind of radio program that you download and listen to when you get around to it; alternatively, not listen to just like with a tivo or DVR. Many of the podcasts on my iPod are, fact, radio programs. The podcast I listen to most often is called the Thrilling Adventure Hour. It describes itself as as new time podcasts in the style of old time radio. I suppose that is accurate except for the fact that the stories on the Thrilling Adventure Hour have a campy sense of humor I am sure that was not found in old time radio shows like the Lone Ranger.
