Podcasting It
I really enjoy my iPhone for many reasons. Not only is it fun, it can be a sanity saver. My job requires some pretty mindless and repetitive tasks on occasion. My remedy has been to listen to podcasts or music while I do these things giving me something interesting to focus on (so I don’t go crazy). Here is the short list of podcasts to which I listen to get through the...
