Podcasting

Have I mentioned to you that I love my new iPod? It is a snazzy little gadget that holds my music and gives the false impression that I am hip. I have to admit that while the music and the hip factor are wonderful benefits, I have found a new unexpected pleasure from my iPod. That is the phenomenon of podcasting.

Okay, so the truth is I'm not really sure what podcasting is. I think it is some way that basically anyone can have their own "radio program." All you have to do is record your show using your computer and post the MP3 files on the net for anyone to listen to. I think there is some cool way to setup your iPod to automatically download the lastest shows from your favorite podcasters or something like that. (Here is a link to a news article on podcasting.)

Anyway, my favorite, unexpected use for my iPod is to download sermons. (Does that even count as podcasting?) You can find lots of sermons online for free. Here are links for my two favs: Rob Bell and John Piper.
