iPod, uPod, weallPod…

THE BAD NEWS:  B/c the new hard drive on my laptop has a newer version of iTunes on it, a bunch of my songs are now unplayable b/c they’re in the wrong format.  What a drag!  No more Diana Krall, Elvis Costello, Rod Stewart, Simple Minds, U2, etc., etc.

THE GOOD NEWS:  Podcasts.  Knitting Podcasts.  Thanks to Lu’s mention of Lime & Violet, I’ve now discovered knitting podcasts.  Wheeeee!  I’m not actually sold on Lime & Violet yet — they spent so much of the cast just laughing — but I’m going to listen to another one and give them another chance.  I didn’t care for Beneath the Fiber Moon — a bit too, um, Haight Ashbury for me, but that’s just me.  Something to listen to while I do dishes/clean, etc.

    Hooray for discovering knitting podcasts! I’m not a huge fan on L&V for the same reason you mentioned…I had to turn the volume down after awhile because their constant laughing drove me crazy.

    There’s a whole bunch of knitting podcasts on the net. Here’s a good place to find a few of them. I’d say Cast-On is the most popular one. My girlfriend and I downloaded all of the episodes and listened to them on a two day road trip when I moved states :)

    One day I may listen to a knitting podcast, but I haven’t yet. Everyone seems to enjoy them.
