Week Nine - Pods: Thing twenty-one of twenty-three


Pods Near Castor Bean Tree

I really like Yahoo! Podcasts for searching pods. http://podcasts.yahoo.com/ Again, I'm drawn to color and non-boredom in a website, and this site provides both! The "Most Popular" and "Highly Rated" sections are fun to browse. If you do a seach on 'books', you will be astounded! I found a cool Sci-Fi one called, "Escape Pod" http://podcasts.yahoo.com/series?s=7ba2408f95e9e6e8c6a29c763c044603
Let me know if anyone can recommend a good podcast for learning Spanish. The few I found had only limited entries. I added one pod called "Spanish phrase of the Day" to my bloglines account. This is what I learned today:
Quisiera pedir un bocadillo. (I would like to order a sandwich.)
Hey! That should go on my PB Wiki post!

And this post would mean nothing without a mention of one of my favorite movies of all time involving pods. "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077745/

Gracias minerva!
I love this podcast! Learning Spanish from a host and hostess with Scottish accents is the ultimate :-) My cuppa tea. And the fact that the lessens are fairly short makes this definitely doable.
