Thing 22

I chose to listen to Dave Ramsey for my podcast. I really enjoy his show and think that this should be part of every school curriculum. The premise of his show is that debt is bad and people need to learn to live within their means. I typically do listen to the show whenever I have a chance. I am regular follower of his, but I normally do not podcast the show. I do think that I would time to listen to all of the shows on a regular basis, thus I listen when I get a chance.

I liked Educational Podcast Directory in that it focuses on educational topics. This tells the user up front what they can expect. Podcast Directory and Podcastally both were nice in that they offered more variety in the types of pod casts that are available to listen to. I can see where there is value in these two for those that are looking for more information on a variety of topics. As for ease of use, I think they both were equally easy to use. I did not find one any more difficult to use than the other.

At this point, I am not inspired to create my own podcast. I feel that I do not have the expertise necessary to create a podcast that would be meaningful enough to get the value from it relative to the work that it would take. I also have not found a podcast that I would be interested in subscribing to on a regular basis at this time. My schedule is very full, and I prefer to listen to things that are current (i.e. news or events from the day), rather than things that are recorded or may be a couple of days old. I also do not like to listen to items that seem long or that drag on. I prefer very short new like stories. If I am listening to the radio, I typically prefer music and the last thing I would want to listen to while driving is a podcast. I prefer something that is far more upbeat and that contains more interaction.
