a good idea

i recently realized that This American Life can be podcasted for free. i had thought it was one of the few NPR broadcasts that one had to pay to download, but no. its free. and its great to listen to while exercising. its unlikely that many people will agree with me on that point. i suppose most people run fastest or longest when upbeat peppy rhythm and tunes are flowing through the headphones, but listening to a story (i also dig This I Believe which comes in convenient little bits and Wait Wait Dont Tell Me which cracks me up) keeps me distracted from the exhaustion and lets me run longer than otherwise. its great. and when else does one have time for the weekly hour long great radio show?
