After a few episodes, you can drop some band names into your conversation ("Have you heard that new song by the Walkmen?") and let the fun begin. Cheers and happy listening!

I also listen to one called Manic Mommies, which is pretty silly sometimes, but funny, entertaining and relevant to me. One of my kids has mild special needs, so believe it or not there are podcasts for this sort of thing. I also like things about health topics and fitness, which actually helped with the 30 pound weight loss I achieved recently. One of the things I have discovered is that no matter what your interests, there are podcasts about it. I was actually thinking that your blog would lend itself nicely to podcasting. I am not suggesting that you have copious free time to burn (!!!!!) but I was thinking that. And some podcasts are really short (unlike TAL and moth) - some as little as two minutes each. food for thought! Karen Capucilli I love both of the podcasts you listen to.

Recently received an iPad as a thank you gift from a client. :-) Browsing around the FREE APPS I found Pandora. It's wonderful because you list all your favorite singers or groups then tag one and it becomes Say Beatles Radio (yea I'm THAT old) AND picks old and new singers/groups that sound like or are in the same style.... as the group you selected. Soooo that way I've found out about new singers... that I never would have had time to hunt down. And being the provider of music here it takes a real burden off me for coming up with current music. Only problem is my son found this app and started putting HIS groups on the list and turns out there is a 100 group limit. I've yet been able to figure out how to delete the Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga, Heavy Metal Hits .... Best Christina,

You can check them out at the library, copy them onto your computer and load onto your ipod. These make up much of the reading I'm able to do these days. Podcasts, and audio books!

It's great to hear from you. I'm new to podcasts, but so far I'm addicted to This American Life and The Moth. How about you? I agree--drudgery is vastly less drudgeful when you've got the company of a good podcast. Christina Thank you so much, Karen! It’s great to hear from you.

Your writing is wonderful. I started reading a couple of months ago and look forward to all of your new posts. I am sorry it took me so long to comment. When you mentioned podcasts i just HAD to laugh. Because I love them also. A LOT. Podcasts have revolutionized the grunt work associated with raising kids and running a household. I do not listen while I am "present" with my kids - helping with homework, taking them to the park etc. However, I DO listen while I am doing boring things like the laundry, dishes cleaning, etc etc. Now I actually look forward to these things, in a weird way. Again, I love the blog, and I find a lot to relate to. Even though my particular adversity and challenges have been of a different nature, your writing has a great deal of resonance for me.
