    So I told my husband the other night... I am starting to feel old because I'm really *into* podcasts lately. :giggle Aside from the digi/scrap podcasts, I've been branching out and finding new things.

    In particular, I'm hooked on Serial... which is a new ongoing story where the reporter is looking into a murder of a girl that happened in 1999. The girl's ex-boyfriend was convicted, but it was sort of flimsy evidence. You aren't sure whether to believe he did it or not. Anyway, they are up to episode six, and I just can't get enough.

    I even watched a two-day seminar on Creative Live about creating story-filled podcasts. It really seems sort of natural to me (as a scrapper)... listening to/preserving stories.

    Do you listen to podcasts (other than scrapping ones)? Which ones?

    Ha ha ha!! I was totally going to recommend Serial to you!

    We also like Stuff You Should Know and all the similar ones.

    Oh and This American Life.

    It doesn't really mean you are old. I just feel old lately, and podcasts sort of remind me of the olden days when people sat around and listened to radio shows. So that's why I think I feel like my grandma. :)

    I'll have to check out some of the others. :) I didn't even know there were Disney podcasts. :)

    I'd never heard of a podcast like Serial. I want to check that out.

    The one podcast I listen to faithfully every week is NPR's I Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. Covers news topics with a panel of comedians, writers, etc. Pretty funny. It's my favorite.

    The Disney ones I listen to usually are Inside the Magic, WDW Today, and Window to the Magic, which has audio for Disney World and Disneyland.

    I love Serial, too. Based on that I had a few people recommend The Moth podcasts (live unscripted storytelling) and Criminal (short odd crime-related) so I listen to those now, too. They're both short, so they're handy for running errands. I also received 99% Invisible and Radiolab as recommendations, but I haven't had a chance to listen to either of those yet.

    No podcasts for me, I wouldn't even know how to get one? Do you see them or listen to them?

    You listen to them, although there are video ones too, called vodcasts. They're like radio shows that you download and listen to whenever you want.

    I regularly listen to Fresh Air and Radio West (npr shows) in podcast form. I have a religious one I really like, as well as the Digiscrap Geek podcast. I also listen to This American Life and RadioLab from time to time. I've been hearing so much about Serial, I really need to start listening!
