CCLS 23 Things #21: Podcasts

I can't imagine I'll ever be a fan of podcasts, because I'm not a good listener. I hate being read to, and given the choice of listening to an audio file or reading a transcript, I'll take the transcript any day.

I think what bothers me the most is that I have no control over the timing. I can't "skim" an audio file or skip over parts of it.

I tried subscribing to one site that I found, using the URL given in PodcastAlley, but got an error message "No feeds were found. Please verify that the website publishes an RSS feed." This may be because the site isn't adding new content at this point.

I did find two sites that I thought would interest my son, Basscast
and Prog'opolis
