Podcast Anyone?
I had to leave really early this morning on a long trip for work. I'm not very awake in the morning so I wanted to try and find something that kept my attention and kept me awake. So I downloaded some podcasts and set off.
I've tried listening to podcasts before, but I've never been able to find ones I enjoyed listening to on a regular basis. One of the problems for me is just the complete breakdown of thought and conversation. Don't get me wrong that can be great when you are enjoying who you're listening to. It's like you eavesdropping on a dinner conversation or something. But at other times I get completely annoyed and hit the fast forward arrow.
Today I found a couple of Podcasts I enjoyed.
The RELEVANT Podcast - from RELEVANT magizine/website.
TWIT - This week in Tech. With one of my favorite Tech experts Leo Laporte, Patrick, Kevin formerly of Tech TV Screen Savers. (I loved that show and was so ticked when G4 bought them out)
The Official Lost Podcast - With the executive producers of my favorite show Lost. The latest podcast answered some viewer questions and gave some hints as to what to expect from the show when it returns from hiatus. (BTW - has anyone watched Daybreak? I have completely boycotted that show in return for delaying LOST)
Mars Hill Bible Church (Grand Rapids, MI) - The podcast are generally sermons from the church from my favorite speaker (Other then my own pastor of course) Rob Bell.
Late addition...
Pray-As-You-G0 - This is about a 15 minute guided prayer involving some contemplative music, scripture reading, thoughts and directions about how to pray. Very awesome. Highly recomened especially if prayer time doesn't come easy.
Does anyone else have any Podcasts they enjoy listening to that they would recomend?

If LOST is so good it is worth waiting for.
(the show is still a top 10 for me but it was No. 1 and now it is only on a list with no number...)
I was going to boycott watching it on TV if it did not streamline the airing. 3 reruns for 2 new episodes is a very poor way to tell a story. The opening minutes of this season was amazing but since I feel like we have been lost in a Hurley-Nut-House-Dream and now that I am talking about the dream (5 episodes) all I can say is dude?
OK I do remember a little but when I ask can "Jack stop the bleeding?" I am not just talking about the-Gollum-other. The question is about the show.
The next 18 episodes are make or break for the show. They have coasted since Walt got kidnapped (in real life he is probably driving a car by now). Stop making the random seem like some big answer, cliffhanger non-endings to back stories and characters dying - death doesn't even matter anymore (Mr. Eko's death is a random example-a budget cut?- he was one of the few Losties I still liked). Make me care again.
LOST maker dudes - don't take awesome guys like Rich for granted. You had a really cool show and some really cool storylines - it is still a cool show, make it a COOL STORY again so that come May after 18 amazing Wednesdays in a row we can all again say DUDE!
(Hope I didn't break any blog rules or hurt your blog feelings taking shots at LOST - I am all about the STORY of 815!)
No blog rules broken) Rants on things are perfectly acceptable and even welcomed. Before I get started let me clarify something I
boycotted Daybreak, not Lost. I'm still in love with Lost as ever, but I am tiring of the same randomness, additional questions with no answers and general lostness of the shows storyline as Mark blogged about. I agree with Mark about the importance of the next 18 episodes and I think the producers understand that as well. Though they're already signed on for a fourth season, Lost lovers are growing restless. In the last Podcast they put out, they assured us that within the next few episodes (They have 6 done already) there will be some answers. While I have loved the mystery, randomness and openendedness of the show so far, I do think it's time to close some of the loops. I think it's necessary for the show to move forward. Don't get me wrong, the show has been moving forward slowly but I want to see it take a giant leap, twist and turn.
Poor Eko - every time I think of his death it makes me sad.
So this may require me to start another thread, but "Hurley nut house dream"?
Here's a little hint/spoiler/or wild goose chase from the Podcast don't read if don't want to know.
Who's the real leader of the others? Ben? Someone else? When Ben was in the hatch (Season 2) he mentioned someone else. Was there some mention of Jacob? (I need to watch the episode again if anyone has it) I think I missed that, but think Jacob (Israel) had twelve sons - youngest Benjamin.
It's interesting how Lost is heavily spiritual - not just Christian - it is heavily spiritual. The Exec. Producers admitted to being inspired
by the Bible and ripping it off as often as possible.
Anybody have some great questions or thoughts on Lost?
