Audio podcasts diffuse the monotony of many household tasks like washing the dishes, cutting up a whole chicken, hanging laundry, etc. They are ideal for tasks where you have to pay attention to the task visually but you can still expand your mind via your ear. I want to experiment listening to podcasts while shoveling snow and vacuuming (i.e. with a more enclosing set of headphones) and determining if I can still follow the words being spoken.
There are many podcasts out there but the best are the ones produced by people with a professional background in broadcasting. Many other podcasts have lousy, difficult-to-hear audio, as if everyone was calling in on VIOP via a 14.4K modem. My favorite sources of podcasts are TWiT and CBC because the topics are interesting AND the quality in production and information is second-to-none.
