Getting that time in to listen to radio and news

It is always very difficult for me to find the time to listen to radio. I am rather old school when it comes to the way I get my news, but I have and always will first pick radio. Only problem is my schedule and the programs I like to listen to are different. Thankfully podcasts are the quick answer to that. This week I am looking at easy ways to download the podcasts that I like, load them on my phone and give them a listen when I have the time.

Mediafly is the most recent one that I have found, It has a syncronizer app that can be installed in Windows XP and Vista. It is free and the site contains daily updates to most of your favorite radio broadcasts. I particularly like "Car Talk" on NPR and some BBC programs. You can listen to them online or download them to most any media player including iPods.

More to come.....
