As some know, I haven't really been on the whole "podcast" bandwagon. I sort of listened to some while online, but the whole subscribe-via-itunes-and-listen-later thing wasn't really something I had bought into.

Until now.

I decided to try to get a few podcasts and listen to them during my commute. So here I sit on the subway listening to "Bill Maher" and laughing out loud. Yesterday, I listened to CBC Radio One's global perspective show "Dispatches" in the car.

I have to say I am really enjoying doing it. In both cases, they are either shows I can't get (Maher is on HBO in the US which I at least don't get on cable here in Toronto) or usually have to miss (the CBC show is on around kids' bedtime).

They are both great, and I have to say that this place-shifting plus fresh-content thing might be handy after all.
