On Podcast Overload


10.79 GB
I've been listening to and watching podcasts. I am being overwhelmed by podcasts. The iTunes podcast list is dizzying and is actually quite upsetting. There's so much stuff I have yet to listen to that I don't want to delete, but I don't want to immediately listen either. It's the podcast equivalent of bacn. There's about 220 feeds in iTunes right now. Some casts I want to mention here but the thought fills me with exhaustion. I've been checking out some ABC podcasts (Australian Broadcasting Corp.) and CBC podcasts, also the BBC is podcasting a few more programmes like the excellent Thinking Allowed (sociology, culture etc.) and their travel programme Excess Baggage. Find BBC podcasts info here.

There are many food and cooking casts out there, many of them video podcasts. Reading recipes is a lot more daunting than watching food being prepared and cooked - "They make it look so easy" 'n' all that. Also lots of tech/gadget video podcasts and how tos.

Too many gigabytes taken up with these things. I'm beginning to fear them.
