I iPod when I Go.
I am on the go a lot.  I drive about 3,200 miles per month...every month.  That makes about 38,400 miles per year!

Not only does that make for a lot of gas stops, but also a lot of podcasts.  I listen to podcasts everywhere.

Currently, I am listening to the following Biz Tool related podcasts (subscribed via iTunes):

dl.tv - Great podcast for general gadgets and cool stuff.  Video podcasts are available.
ScreenCastsOnline - SCO gives great tutorials about getting the most out of your Mac.
TWiT - This Week In Tech offers a rundown of what happened in tech for the previous week.  Topics revolve mainly around the internet.
Security Now! - Security Now! focuses completely on computer related security issues.  LAN, WAN, USB, Ethernet, my personal favorites occur every 4th episode when they take user questions.

If you are looking for a little traveling podcasts to keep you occupied and want to learn something in the process, check these bad boys out!

Did I mention all of the podcasts above are free?

If you have any podcasts you want to recommend, post a message, I'll listen and then review them.
