Podcast update

So this is what I'm currently listening to.  My pattern is to download a podcast as I listen to the last one I loaded, IIRC I'm at a rotation of about 21 days at this stage.  I'm always kinda behind which is why I'm willing to listen to older stuff.  Anything with * are podcasts I really look forward to when they come up on rotation.  The Links are mostly to whatever way my MP3 RSS feed works from my spreadsheet (why yes I'm a librarian), I accidentally posted this before finishing, I should get this done shortly

  2. Wow, this is a comprehensive list of podcasts! I must say I very rarely listen to them. I guess because I'm always knitting in front of the tv :) I must give some of these a try soon.

    1. I listen to them as I knit, some of them are better for listening while knitting than others.
