and I’m going to be soaking in this material at a constant rate from now on. As per my excercise/podcasting post, I’m preparing a means to consume this information in a highly efficient man [...]

Do it baby do it… whatever you choose as you entertainment .. try not to forget the excercise part. The commute I assume you mean to work from home? Anyway good luck … seems like you have been thinking about a lot of health related issues lately. “Who needs action when you’ve got words” -Kurt Cobain … try to prove him wrong.

currently I’ve been doing a lot of walking around the 4 mile ring here at the lab. What I’ve done is gotten a subscription to http://www.audible.com and am listening to audio books. its not exactly cheap, but hey you are getting a new job making the big bucks… so you can afford it.

99 cents ain't bad, though. Plus, I'm all for support public broadcasting. The little extra effort is well spent, I'd say, since you're contributing back for something that's more significant than a pop song, you know?

If worse comes to worse, you can copy the audio from the stream using something like Total Recorder.

Jason,

Forgot to mention...I'd like the content to be either free or pay per year or something. I don't want to pay per episode or month; not only is that too expensive, but it's a hassle too.

Looks like NPR's charging for the Infinite Mind series...

Good suggestion though...I like the show a lot.

I recommend downloading episodes of “The Infinite Mind.” It’s a psychology program on Public Radio. Check out the link below, and give an episode or two a listen (streams in RealPlayer, but you can purchase MP3s for download). http://www.theinfinitemind.com/mindprgm.htm

I've been thinking of doing a similar thing, but I have yet to find a feed worth listening too, even after searching the Ipodder directory. They all seem rather boring or try to be "funny".

Old 2600 episodes Hmmm, might check this out.

Some of the SANS webcasts are somewhat decent, however there's a few problems. One, often the first 20 minutes is just vendor advertising. Two, they are in Realaudio, which can't be downloaded all in one go, and then you have to use something like Streambox ripper to convert them to mp3. Plus some are rather simplistic.

Foreign language osmosis Somehow I don't think so.

There's also tools like Audiocast which will convert a HTML page to mp3, but I've yet to find a good use for this.
