Yes, I listen to podcasts, now and then. I don't really get a chance to listen to the radis. I have a few select podcasts picked out, like NPR's On The Media, that automatically download to my iPod. I pretty much just listen to them when I'm in transit (planes, trains and the occasional automobile).

So Imagine my surprise when I'm travelling on the LIRR this week to hear my friend Alaa's voice in my headphone's talking about his recent imprisonment and the treatment of Egyptian bloggers on PRI's The World: Technology pocast. It's a pretty decent piece and also has a snippet or two of his wife Menal. You can check it out at http://www.theworld.org/technology/index.shtml, it is a pretty consistantly good podcast - Alaa and Menal are featured in podcast #111.
