I subscribe to a number of podcasts through my iTunes as it is so convenient. However I subscribed to Groks Science Radio Show and Podcast with Bloglines as instructed. It is another wonderful technology that gets the information that interests people to them in a format that almost everyone can enjoy, even non-readers.
Interested in science?

So much information.
It's everywhere, and it can be a problem to keep track of all the news, sports, weather and blogs you follow. This is where RSS, a web feed, can help by checking your subscribed feeds for any updates, and downloading them automatically to your reader or email.
Google Reader is a good example of a feed reader. I have found it easy to use and organise.
I created a Bloglines account and subscribed to a number of feeds, but I must say that while similar to my Google Reader, I prefer the latter. Ease of use, and perhaps familiarity, influenced my choice. I also joined Technorati and favourited (modern internet terminology, really...) a few blogs, and have added a link button on my page that would enable browsers, the human variety, to add my blog to their feeds.
Interesting...
2008 National Book Festival Podcasts include interviews with R.L.Stine,Sharon M. Draper, Arthur Frommer and Pauline Frommer, and others.

Talking Tech, briefly...
iTunes is one of my favourite technological tools, although more of an application I suppose. It is a media player and a form of web feed in that it can be used to subscribe to both video and audio podcasts which are updated on a regular basis. These are free, and include Times Online Book Podcast (audio) which has interviews with authors such as Jodi Picoult, Stephen King and Richard Dawkins to name but a few, as well as TEDtalks and Cranky Geeks which are video podcasts.
So I'm sure that this would probably be my favourite new technology, if I could afford it. It is growing in popularity. One of the main reasons I would love to own one is that, after the initial expense, books become so much cheaper. It would pay for itself in no time!
