One of my favorite new media/technological discoveries of the last few years has been the free podcasts on iTunes. I have regular "subscriptions" to about 10-12 and combined they make up my dream radio station. I listen to shows about news, science, music and pretty much everything else.Discovered through a reference on my long time love This American Life, I have recently been getting a kick out of The Moth. The Moth is a "a not-for-profit storytelling organization" in New York (of course) where famous and not-so-famous people tell true stories, without notes, on stage. The quality of the stories and the storytellers varies (sometimes I turn it off after 30-seconds just because of the persons voice) but when they are good...they are great. I think my favorites so far are Matthew McGough's "My First Day With The Yankees," Ed Gavagan's "Drowning On Sullivan Street," and Rudy Rush's "Harlem Cowboy."
