As busy as I am, I allow myself time to be curious (I’ve often said to the staff its actually a “must have” characteristic to be in the technology profession. That curiosity lead me to explore the other tabs of my iTunes program. I was delighted to find so many podcasts for FREE! I became curious about podcasts and downloaded and listened to a few. After a few duds, I stumbled on NPR (thank you Barbara) and over time have become an avid listener of This American Life and a number of other NPR programs. I would HIGHLY recommend you try out a few episode, especially This American Life . It had me laughing out loud (LOL if you are trying to increase your texting vocabulary) in the car earlier this week.
This morning, as I was getting ready for a college visiting trip I’m taking for the next 4 days, I wanted to load up my iPod with new episodes of my favorite shows and try out a few new ones. I had a few weeks ago clicked on the iTunesU section of the iTunes store and explored it further today. WOW there is an amazing amount of FREE (and ones that cost) material out there for personal and professional development. For this trip I’ve downloaded a copy of e-Myth (it’s been a while since I’ve read it), titles from the Wharton Business school and a series entitles Business Leaders and Entrepreneurs.
Between my music collection and some brain food, I’m armed for make a 630 mile trip a little more entertaining.
