I have a regular diet of certain podcasts through iTunes.
They range from the serious to the sublime.
News:
CNN's hourly news update (approx. 3 minutes) - just a quick and simple way to get caught up in what's happening in the world and around the nation.
Sports:
ESPN Radio's Daily podcast - ear candy. Just something to have on in the background if I am reading or hanging out.
(I used to subscribe to The Big Show, Dan Patrick's daily show...it was my favorite until he up and left ESPN...bummer).
Misc:
Great Speeches in History - a great collection of speeches that impacted our country (includes speeches such as MLK's "I Have a Dream," "Television is a Vast Wasteland," Nixon's famous "Checkers" and resignation speech, JFK's inaugural speech, Susan B Anthony's speech on women's right to vote, etc).
Learn Spanish - I dabble in it and enjoy brushing up on my Spanish vocabulary.
Spiritual formation:
Mars Hill/Rob Bell: I subscribe and listen, just like every other Christian under the age of 30.
Mosaic/Erwin McManus: I love hearing Erwin teach. He's a great influence on me.
Menlo Park Presbyterian Church (MPPC)/John Ortberg: JO is one of my favorite teaching pastors - has been for many years dating back to when he was still at Willow Creek.
But my favorite podcast I've come across is called Pray As You Go, run by a community Jesuits over in England that care deeply about Scripture. Very well done, I might add.
It's a 10-12 minute daily podcast that is very lectio divina-esque. It's a great way to start my day driving to work. Meditative, reflective, contemplative. I feel caught up in the tradition of the faith and find that it helps me be saturated in the word on a daily basis.
I recommend it highly. Check it out on iTunes.
I'm curious: which podcasts you subscribe/listen to regularly?
Any worth recommending?
