Quick story, I began listening to them about a year ago after an ex co-worker told me about them. To make a long story short, the first podcast novel I listened to was Shadowmagic. I listened to the entire thing while driving from Connecticut to Georgia!






I can't listening if I'm reading/writing emails but other than that I seem to be using a different part of my brain.
I also listening while doing household chores - I hate them so much I need something to distract me.
And Ron, I also enjoyed Shadowmagic.

I know what you mean. I wish I could be one of those people who enjoy cooking, but unfortunately I'm not. But I found that, cooking while listening to an audiobook on my iPod made me more relaxed and the process wasn't so tedious!


I do it the same as pretty much everyone else.
The boring chores and the long commutes..
That was my first intention.
But I really love the ability to discover so many new authors this way.
It also seemed I never could buy enough or take out enough books out at the library; at least enough to keep up when I was really in the mood to dive in.
There are endless podiobooks to explore.
I also love them for relaxation.
You know.... those times when you're really tired and stressed after a long trying day.







My first podiobook though was the 7th son series which I downloaded in preparation for hours of train riding (traveling on the cheap using local trains). Loved it and never looked back..
Since then I've listened in a variety of situations
- traveling on planes
- driving to work
- doing housework
- painting
- biking to school
- relaxing in the tub or at the beach
So now I never leave home without my fully charged iPod. I found a cheap adapter that allows me to listen through my cassette player... best $15 I've ever spent. :)
