I usually listen to music when I am running. On my normal road run around the neighborhood it is pretty safe to run with headphones, because the sidewalks are wide and there isn’t a whole lot of traffic. And then the treadmill at the gym is the perfect place to space out and listen to some tunes.

But lately I have been loading up podcasts on my Shuffle for my runs. Tonight I listened to some Leo Laporte podcasts, “The Daily GizWiz” with Dick DeBartolo, and “Net@Nite” with Amber MacArthur. Both are funny and informative. LaPorte and DeBartolo have a good rapport, and it’s fun to hear about cool, practical, and sometimes wacky gadgets. Net@Nite focuses on web sites and trends and helps me keep in tune with the latest on the Net. I learn about tons of new sites listening to it. Definitely give those podcasts a listen to. Even if you aren’t running! It’s good for the car too. 🙂
