About Podcasting and my subscriptions

I really enjoy podcasting, even more now that its integrated in iTunes version 4.9, whether traveling by car or waiting for an appointment, its always a chance of generating extra value from potentially wasted time. What makes it even better is my iPod mini which is a very well designed and usable piece of electronics.
I do not have to tweak around to have the podcasts I already listened to deleted, and to get new podcasts uploaded, its all automatic, really great.
What amazes me is how every day available technologies can be well orchestrated to deliver innovative and really useful services.

These are my favorite and current Podcast subscriptions:
