I don't listen to any but would like to. I searched fro some through the app on my windows phone a few weeks back but couldn't find anything of decent quality that was of interest to me. I know there has to some good ones but the search function didn't seem to produce them. I will check out serial...

Well I am already addicted! This is just the kind of thing I like. This is seriously interfering with my study!! I wish I knew about it earlier - it would have made my long drives from school each day more bearable.

I was listening to lots of (medical/medicine related) podcasts whilst studying. I will make an effort to keep listening to them as CPD (continuing professional development).

Voy - they are like radio shows but you can download them and listen at your convenience. You can just click play and listen online at your computer/ipad etc... Or you can download the episodes to your computer/phone. ***This is a cute video about how podcasts work: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IPV2oSz8m4 *** Some great ones: The MothThis American LifeRadio Lab (you should listen to this episode)

I used to listen to Scot Mills on BBC Radio 1 but I ran out of space on the phone. This is a good reminder to start again. I think he's funny.

Voy, there might be a way for you to download them at the library and then listen to them at your leisure.

i used to listen to language podcasts (mainly from japanesepod101, italianpod101 etc. depending what language i am learning) - lately not so much, as i am currently more into audiobooks, but might have another podcast-phase at some point ...

There used to be a site on BBC where you could hear books being read/acted by performers, it was fantastic, not sure if still exists. There are also tales for the night, and different sorts of shows there. Interesting for those of us who have English as a second language

Are you caught up Lumi? Do you think he did it? Where the hell is Jay? Dead?

Post by lumi on Nov 12, 2014 0:21:09 GMT 2
Yep, totally caught up. The lst episode made me think that perhaps he didn't do it but I haven't been listening attentively so haven't followed all of the details. I will definitely tune in properly to the next story whenever it begins. What do you think WIMM??

I only knew about the language podcast, never used them but acutally for my Spanish, that would be good.

I just don't know! I know that I don't want him to be guilty and it seems like the evidence to convict him was weak and I have a lot of respect for the innocence project and have been to a couple of their events locally - their opinion holds a lot of weight with me. Looking forward to this week - the lack of Jay has been a glaring hole in the story so far. who knows right
