Podcasting: My first listening experience

Nice work and thank you Teemu and Timo!

I know that podcasting is like, so totally 2004, but I now have a way to get into that fray with my new iRiver. With my hour commute through the cornfields of Indiana from wonderful Bloomington to Indianapolis this morning, I fired up my first podcast. I am happy to report that this first experience was a very good one.

Last night before bed I downloaded the Flosse Posse interviews with Alan Levine, Antti Kauppi, and Stephen Downes. I listened to the interview with Alan this morning and got about 75% of the way through Antti's interview (will finish that one at lunch).

It was cool to hear Alan explain the history of how he got to where he is with instructional technology. I am an active reader of his blog so, I see the stuff he is currently working on and it was great to hear his big-picture view of the world.

I know there are many bizarre podcasts out there, which is a good thing, but I am glad that my experience was with these well-produced and interesting discussions. I look forward to the ride home this afternoon to listen to the interview with Steven.
