What's in your iPod?

Listen to this article

If you ask me, I'll tell you nothing--I don't have an iPod. But, I do use iTunes to listen to Podcasts and watch Videocasts on my computer. Unlike the iPod, iTunes fits right in my price range: free. You can buy songs and videos (even episodes of TV shows) at iTunes, but I'll have none of that. Everything I download is free.

Without further ado, here's what's in my "iPod":

• All in the Mind - All In The Mind is Radio National's weekly foray into the mental universe, the mind, brain and behaviour - everything from addiction to artificial intelligence.

• Nerd TV - NerdTV is a new weekly online series from PBS.org technology columnist Robert X. Cringely. NerdTV is essentially Charlie Rose for geeks - a one-hour interview show with a single guest from the world of technology. Guests like Sun Microsystems co-founder Bill Joy or Apple computer inventor Steve Wozniak are household names if your household is nerdy enough, but as historical figures and geniuses in their own right, they have plenty to say to ALL of us. NerdTV is distributed under a Creative Commons license so viewers can legally share the shows with their friends and even edit their own versions.
