Things to Share... One of the best things about the internet is the easy availability of free podcasts. I listen while I am cleaning, working, walking or biking and they are my main souce of entertainment. Podcasts that I love:

This American Life (Of course)Real person Radio stories

Atoms, Motion and the Void- Absolutely love it. It is indescribable: intricate and beautiful stories, wonderful music, and so strangely moving. These stories, songs and walks are some of my favorite things in the world. Truly.

Radiolab - Real person radiostories with a science hook. (Sometimes Robert annoys me.)

Third Coast International - Real person radio stories

Transom- Remix of radio stories from around the world

Resound- Remix radio stories from around the world

Librivox- free books and stories read by various volunteers

Anything Ghost- Ghost stories from callers (FUN)

Jim Harold's Campfire -Ghost stories from callers , wade through the corny and strange-once in a while there is a really great story.

Memory Palace- Shorts, thoughtfully constructed

The Moth- storytelling I am always looking for more...
