Score!
My favorite book reviewer via podcast, Nancy Pearl, has slowed down. At one point she had a weekly podcast via KUOW public radio. So I've been casting about looking for another book podcast.
Well, I've found it. Books on the Nightstand is a team project of Ann and Michael, two book reps. This is their personal project, not an extension of work. They cover a variety of genres and while I haven't listened to all the podcasts-yet-I've enjoyed the ones I have heard.
For you non iPod-ers, I think you can listen from their website.

iPod II
I am on my second iPod. The first one just sort of wore out. The second one is a 60 gig video capable one.
It holds my free digital copy of Mamma Mia the movie. I make that distinction because now I've seen the stage show and while they are the same story, they are very different. I think it's the energy. But the point is, I can carry around the story of my inner dancing queen.
So I've had the second iPod for at least a year. But for a while there, it lost its luster. Not sure why, but it did.
Lately, I've rediscovered its magic. The way it creates a bubble for you to move through time and be in whatever world you want to be while normalcy perks along outside.
Podcasts. These are the addiction right now.
Book reviews by Nancy Pearl. Although these don't come out as often as they once did. I love Nancy Pearl. She helped me find that I do like some Science Fiction. And she has her own Librarian action figure. Sort of like Wonder Woman but without the pre-Madonna Jean-Paul Gaultier pointy bo$om.
Barnes and Noble Meet the Writers.
The Guardian Books Podcast.
Speaking of Faith. This is a probationary podcast until I figure out what it's thing is. I found it when someone mentioned listening to their iPod to an episode about John O'Donohue which was about Beauty and God.
Lightroom Killer Tips. Self explanatory. But oh, so valuable. A tip and a video of how to do it.
Design for the Real World. It tells about things like tract houses and stop signs.
Rick Steves Travel. Only the ones on Italy. And Provence.
So whenever I need to get away, I reach into my bag for my iPod. Click on a podcast.
Tune out the noise.
What are you saying?
I can't hear you.
