I've Become a Podcast Junkie

I love to knit and spin while watching television. This summer, there's only been one program I watch regularly and a couple others I try to remember to watch - not enough to get much knitting or spinning done. Then, I discovered podcasts. I am downloading to my iPod right now. I started out with one, the KnitPicks podcast. An acquaintance of mine was interviewed earlier this year and when I found out about it earlier this summer, I thought it would be fun to hear her podcast. I was hooked. In addition to the KnitPicks podcast, I subscribe to 11 other knitting and spinning-related podcasts! Fortunately, a couple seem to be taking a few weeks off right now. But this week alone, the download consists of nine different podcasts! And the crazy part is - I keep adding because at least one of the podcasters mentions another one she just discovered! At least this is a constructive addiction - because I am getting a lot of knitting and spinning done!

For some solid information on knitting and yarn, my favorite is the KnitPicks podcast. When I have a little more time and want a good laugh with some information thrown in, I really enjoy limonviolet's podcast. Then there are a few by some very busy moms: Brown-Eyed Mom, Knaked Knits, knittingatnight and She-Knits. I doubt any of these women sleep, because not only do they have time for their children, work or school and knitting, but they podcast regularly too! Pretty impressive! That's my short list of podcasts. I listen regularly to more and frankly, if they weren't good, I wouldn't listen!
