Major,
Can I be on the list too?

Greetings, Major, and great to see you on/in this wonderful blog. I am not a big podcast person myself, but I try to keep up with the times in my own slow way, so thanks to you & others for all the suggestions.

major!
exciting to see another voice i admire on the blog. i’m excited, too, about the podcast postings. i downloaded one from KQED writer’s block site, and listened to the short story on my way to school, and it was a new experience…listening to an ipod (when we assume that everyone listens to music) and a short story, and giggling to myself. it was a nice experience. thank you.

Dear Evie,
Thank you! Treadmill Listening is its own activity. I’m waiting for that list. (smiles) and when we are done let’s pass it on to some parents, educators, Top 40 radio programmers.

I, too, adore podcasts. They make it possible for me to catch a great reading in Chicago or New York or L.A. or any of the other places so far from my particular ruburb. I really enjoy podcasts of author interviews, too. Blackbird has some good ones. (Incidentally, how are we defining “podcast”– as the proprietary downloadable, or as any online audio available for playback on the Web?)

Major,
Thanks for this post and these links, some of which are definitely news to me! Along with the dreaded commute, let me add the regular appointment with the treadmill to the list of “top ten reasons to download (poetry) podcasts”… : )
Peace,
Evie
