Portable media means just that! Its portable, you can take it with you on your travels. Whether your using an iPod, Mp3 player or now many phones are capable of storing personal media on a storage card. You can also listen on your computer.

PODCASTS are audio or video shows that can be loaded to your portable device. Then played back whenever or wherever you wish to listen. You can listen with ear buds or hooked into your cars audio system. DID I MENTION PODCASTS ARE FREE?

Just about anything you can imagine, there is probably a podcast for it. Whether your into gardening, yoga, running, tech, music or endless other subjects, you’ll probably find a podcast for it. Try to Google your favorite subject plus “podcast” and see what happens.

Free audio books are available by a variety of authors. A great source is www.podiobooks.com

There are different ways to download podcasts. They are stored as RSS feeds (Really Simple Syndication), downloaded with itunes, windows media player, real player and winamp to mention a few. All can be downloaded for free. I use itunes and an 80 gig ipod Classic or my iPhone to listen to my favorites.
