Net things I'm listening to or participating in

I don't find much to add to my static web pages these days, but I am still active on the net. Here are some places I spend time:

Podcast

For those not familiar with them, podcasts are (usually) audio programs distributed on the net using RSS feeds and Bittorrent transfers to allow for the automated distribution of those programs without placing a huge burden on the person providing the program. These range from professional radio programs to totally amateur productions. I've just started producing podcasts of my own, but I've been listening to other podcasts for several months now. As you can subscribe at any time, and (usually) all the earlier podcasts are still available, it can take quite a while to catch up if you want to start at the beginning (like I do). The files are in mp3 format (almost always) and can be listened to on anything that plays mp3s (ipods and portable mp3 players being a very popular way of doing so).

The little button after the name of a podcast is a link you can use to subscribe to the podcast if you already have a podcast client. I personally use Juice, formerly known as Ipodder, a nice multiplatform free product.

Podcasts I Produce

Watch Your Language: Watch Your Language is a discussion of language, linguistics, and, particularly, the continuing development of American English. Not only are these changes described, but positions are taken on issues such as gender-specific language, taboo words, verbal abuse and "Proper" English. Things which might just make your English teacher or professor angry.

Podcasts I Listen To

Mormon Related Podcasts

Mormon Stories Podcast: Mormon Stories Podcast is put together by John Dehlin, and is a collection of stories from Mormons of all kinds, including former Mormons. John has recently joined the board at Sunstone, and has helped create the Sunstone Podcasts listed below.
This Mormon Life: This Mormon Life, previously known as Latter-day Slant, is hosted by Dallas and Janelle, and consists of them discussing issues in Mormon life, ranging from reviews of books and General Conference to whatever they want to talk about.
Cricket and Seagull Fireside Chat: The Cricket and Seagull Fireside Chat is the podcast of a radio program hosted by Stephen Kapp Perry (yes, related to that other Kapp Perry), with interviews relating to events in Mormon music.
Catholic Mormon Podcast: The Catholic Mormon Podcast is produced by Rob, a "cradle Catholic" who was transformed from a Lite Catholic (all of the forgiveness and none of the work) to a practicing Catholic during his courtship with Sarah, a life-long Mormon girl who converted to Catholicism during the same courtship period. There is more to the story than that, and they will give you more if you listen to the whole show. The show isn't exactly anti-Mormon, although anti-Mormon sources are mentioned from time to time while Mormon apologetics don't get much mention. It is very useful in understanding the Catholic Church, and also in seeing a fairly surface understanding of Mormonism. Sarah and Rob are very real in how they present their own experiences, and they are known to go on a rant from time to time, but sincerely try to be both kind and respectful to those they disagree with.
LDS Voices: LDS Voices is what happens when someone looks through the audio archives at BYU and puts one or two talks from those archives every day. Many BYU and Ricks College devotionals are included.
Sunstone Podcast: Sunstone Podcast was created by John Dehlin, and he is frequently the host, although others from Sunstone can host as well. The show includes interviews on various topics related to the Sunstome approach.
Sunstone Classics Podcast: Sunstone Classics Podcast is an exploration of the audio archives from various Sunstone Symposia over the years.

Music Podcasts

Freakin' Funny Music: Jake Waters weekly exploration of novelty music. Not always child appropriate.
Celtic Music News Podcast: A weekly exploration of modern Celtic and Celtic-rock music.
Cricket and Seagull Fireside Chat: The Cricket and Seagull Fireside Chat is the podcast of a radio program hosted by Stephen Kapp Perry (yes, related to that other Kapp Perry), with interviews relating to events in Mormon music.

Geeky/Other Podcasts

Geek iNtertainment: Geek iNtertainment is a discussion of all things geeky -- computers, video games, science fiction, etc. This feed also includes the Buffcast and Angel Investigations, listed below.
Buffcast: Season-by-season discussion of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Don't bug them about the Season Three show -- they already know.
Angel Investigations: Season-by-season discussion of Angel (the TV show).
Freakin' Funny Music
The Word Nerds: Three teachers discussing words and language, only more interesting and fun than that sounds.
Reel Reviews Radio: Michael W. Geoghegan discusses films "worth watching," Michael always has interesting insights into the films he discusses, and I've gotten several tips on films that I've enjoyed (and some, not so much, but that's okay). He can tell you what he likes and what he likes about it, and make the discussion interesting along the way.
