No music, just talking
I've been listening to my iPod whilst driving to work for around 8 months now, and, whilst I like most of the music I've got on there, I've started to hanker after something else. I'd listen to the radio but I've still not fixed my aerial after snapping it off-roading, so my only source is my iPod.
So I looked about for some podcasts, and got a few talky bits downloaded: the 'Today' programme from Radio 4, some guy talking about weird new music from the US, movie reviews by Mark Kermode, and Dr Karl on Triple J. This last one is what I listened to this mornng and it was brilliant! Triple J is an Australian 'youth' radio station that I listened to when we lived out there. It's really good - they have loads of cool music (a bit like the old 'Evening Session' on Radio 1, if you can remember that), fun phone-ins and interesting talk shows. This one involves people phoning in and asking Dr Karl all sorts of things - he's very clever and funny and it's really interesting. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it.
Listening to something other than music on the drive in was good. I think I'll give Mark Kermode a go on the way home :-)
