 * Personal Podcast**: I have started using a sports podcast that is directly related to the PTI (Pardon The Interruption) TV show on ESPN. In-fact, it is the exact same show except there are no commercials. This is so neat because if I am not going to be able to watch the show or hear what they were talking about that day, I just have to sync the show to my Ipod and I can listen to it in my car on my way to work instead of the radio for the ride. It helps me keep up to date on what is going on in the sports world, and keep in touch with what two sports analysts are talking about. This is very neat, and I plan on using this podcast a lot in the future.

 * Classroom Podcast:** This podcast from "Strait Dope" answers a question about "Roid Rage", and if it actually occurs when someone takes steroids. I plan on using this in my class during my substance abuse section and I am excited to see what the students will think of it, and how they will react to what they hear. After using this Podcast in my classroom (6th grade health class), the kids were first off pretty impressed that I new how to use a Ipod touch, and they were very impressed that you could go online and find out all different types of information that could be used in class (not just download games). I found some kids "zoning" out during the podcast, but some were entertained with the "up-beat" voice on the other end telling them about "roid rage" and if it was an actual side-effect. I have already used another podcast in my high school 9th grade health class talking about the "fight or flight" response when dealing with stress.....Very neat!
