Internet Podcasts Rock !

I mentioned a few posts back that I used to listen to talk radio, specifically Coast To Coast when Art Bell was the host. I loved the stories about Area 51, all the mysterious aircraft near that area, the wonderful stories about aliens, etc. I stopped listening years ago but I have now found a new source of listening entertainment and that is the internet podcast. What is fun about the podcast is that I can look for shows that deal with precisely what I am interested in. There are shows that deal with science fiction in general or specific shows that are popular.
I used to listen to the guys at FTL but they have not done a show in a while. They had a fun episode about alcohol and space and which bar would you hang out in if you had a choice. I know my choice would be Quark's Bar in Deep Space Nine because you could really meet a variety of people due to the proximity to the wormhole. That episode on FTL really had me laughing.
I also go over to GateWorld because they have podcasts specifically about StarGate and full of fun details for the StarGate fan. I really liked the show about characters that left SG1 and Atlantis too soon. I was glad to learn I was not the only one who felt that Dr. Elisabeth Weir was written out of the show way too soon. I would have preferred to see her all the way through to the very end of the series. Oh well.
Podcasts can be found not only in science fiction but in any genre and can be interesting in that you can learn opinions and trivia and if you like multitasking you can "surf" the net while listening to your favorite show!
