I&#8217;m afriad to go for back episodes after that first one took so long.<br \/>Now,today&#8217;s discoveries are very exciting. While searching for things of interest I thought, &#8220;why are there no, teach-you-foreign-language podcasts?&#8221; Well&#8230;there ARE I just didn&#8217;t look hard enough last time&#8230; Today I discovered <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frenchpodclass.com\/\">The French PodClass<\/a> I&#8217;ve got #32 but I went back and started with 1-4. Yes, I had French in high school but I only know the useful phrases of &#8220;hello Phillipe, how are you?&#8221; and &#8220;we are going to the beach&#8221; not to mention &#8220;pass your papers to the right&#8221; yes, I can see how that&#8217;ll help me, should I ever get to France and want to talk to people.<br \/>Then the next find was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mugglenet.com\/mugglecast\/\">MuggleCast<\/a> a Harry Potter fan podcast. I haven&#8217;t listened to it yet, it&#8217;s still downloading. But I&#8217;ll report back once I do give it a listen.<br \/>The last find today, I have not yet listened to either, is, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/rss\/podcast\/podcast_detail.php?siteId=5183212\">Cellar Rat from alt.npr<\/a> it&#8217;s a podcast by Allen Baker who is learning the wine business from grape growing to making wine, etc and discusses the world of wine. After sleeping through the documentary, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0411674\/\">Mondo Vino<\/a>, I thought maybe a podcast about wine might be easier to handle. I&#8217;ll keep you posted.<br \/>Well, I&#8217;ve got cat determined to lay ON my hand while I try to type so I&#8217;d better go entertain her since I&#8217;m obviously not doing what she wants me to do. And it&#8217;s very hard to type with a cat on your hand. OH, BTW &#8211; All of the above podcast can be found via iTunes and are all FREE!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn new things!
