A few of my favorite podcasts

If you have an iPod or similar digital audio player you should be listening to podcasts. Free audiso content on the web — it is what we were all looking for back in the days when illegally downloading music was still legal.

Below I have listed a few of my favorite podcasts with a link to their homepage and a link to iTunes so you can subscribe yourself:

• This American Life
  
  If you have not heard This American Life, it is quite possibly one of the greatest radio programs ever. Each week host Ira Glass picks a topic and does a number of stories on that topic talking to interesting people from all over the country.
  


• Grammar Girl's Tips for Better Writing
  
  Everyone can benefit from a tip to improve their writing abilities, and Grammar Girl has come to the rescue.
  
  
• Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
  
  The weekly news quiz from NPR. A great way to catch up with the weeks news and enjoy a little academic humor at the same time.
  


• And of course there is the the Princeton Review's Vocab Minute which I wrote about here.
