Favorite Podcasts

So, We've recently gotten into podcasts. "What are podcasts?", some of you may say. I found this definition online, "a digital recording of a radio or video broadcast, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player." C.O. and I don't have a television and instead enjoy watching podcasts or movies from Netflix. I prefer this method of entertainment because we tune in based on our schedule not the networks' schedules. We also miss out on all those commercials, lovely. Except for Super Bowl Sunday, they're a waste of time. Anyway, we're enjoying some of these podcasts.

Our friend introduced us to this guy, Gary Vaynerchuk. He does a wine tasting show with whole lot of personality. It is just a lot of fun to watch. I'm including a YouTube clip of one of his shows. It's about 20 minutes long, but worth a watch.



I love how he's all about trying new things, not being snobby about wine and just being real. C.O., Harold and I often have a snack after school and watch an episode. Harold is either mesmerized by Gary V. or starts yelling and waving his hands at the computer. Gary V. moves him.


Who isn't a fan of Garrison Keillor? His voice just carries you away. So, I subscribe to A Prairie Home Companion: The News From Lake Wobegon podcast. The stories brings me back to the great culture of Scandinavians who live in rural Minnesota.



John Piper has the ability to deliver a great sermon week after week. That is why I enjoy this podcast. Each sermon is intelligently written, Biblically sound and pertinent to everyday life. You can download them for free here. I also recommend his book, Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist.

Another interesting podcast "Inspired talks by the world's greatest thinkers and doers" are the TED Talks videos. Learn about all kinds of interesting things that are new in the world of technology and science in short, concise, entertaining talks by a wide variety of experts.

Our friend Bill has started his own Bountary Water Canoe Area Video Podcast. He has one show up so far but has many more coming this summer.

Hey Aaron, have you considered making your weekly KAXE commentaries available as a podcast? You're dominating all other forms of media.

For those of you with unique interests and want to learn more or are looking for another type of entertainment, I recommend searching podcasts. Almost every niche has been covered.
