Podcasting has become a mainstream way of getting your message into the world. You are now able to study and share information you are passionate about with people who share that passion. I am finding I am passionate about many topics and therefore struggle staying focused, but that is the beauty of podcasting.
If I want to know more about creating Flash media there is a podcast for that. http://podcasts.creativecow.net/adobe-flash-tutorials-podcast
One Podcast site I find very helpful in stretching my perspective and way of thinking is Ted.com. They offer many of the highest thinkers today talking about their specific areas, or where they feel the world is headed. There are hundreds of topics covered on a variety of topics.
Another podcast series I have used in the past as a teaser and to jump start creative juices in my class is the Ask a Ninja series on iTunes. It is fun while providing material for my classes to talk about. This can be found at, http://askaninja.com/.
Lynda.com is another major factor for me and my classroom due to the nature of my classes. There are days worth of podcasts dealing with the software we work with, technical knowledge we are learning, and provides materials for my learners to learn at their pace. I have learned Flash, Premiere, web design, graphic design, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and many more tools through the podcasts offered on this site.
Outside of the classroom setting, I also use podcasts as a devotional for my walk with Christ. There are many podcasts dealing with Spiritual growth and Biblical knowledge, but my favorite storyteller at this point is Rob Bell out of Grandville, Michigan. There are many uploads from his sermons spanning many topics and truths. These can be found at, http://www.marshill.org/teaching/.
