I love to listen to podcasts while I exercise or clean the house. Two of my favorites right now are Revolutions by Mike Duncan and of course, This American Life,

 

Any podcast fans?

I listen to/use some German ones for work. Never really think about them otherwise. I think I should find some for use in my car when I 'm driving long distances. I like audiobooks for that, I imagine podcasts would also be good. Thanks for making me think about it!

I listen to a bunch of history podcasts and financial podcasts. :0

 

However, I recommend also "This American Life " and "Snap Judgement" which have a variety of stories .

Have y'all heard about Librivox.org ?

https://librivox.org/

It is a free site in which books in the public domain

are read by volunteers (some excellent, some meh).

You can download, subscribe to podcasts,  or listen by clicking Internet Archive Page and a little player pops up.

(the Internet Archive Page is a very groovy place too)

 

The library is extensive.

The search bar is moody and wants things spelled correctly and worded precisely

but, it is fun going through their virtual stacks, for sure.

 

My favorites:

'A Lady's Life In The Rocky Mountains'  by Isabella L, Bird

 https://librivox.org/a-ladys-life-in-the-rocky-mountains-by-isabella-l-bird/

 

 and Mark Twain's 'Following The Equator'

https://librivox.org/following-the-equator-by-mark-twain/

 

librivox.org

 

did any of these links work ?

my Luddite pathogens are rearing their ugly heads again.

love,

S

That page is a great idea. I will have to pursue more when I'm less tired ;-)

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
