What do you listen to in your down time? Music? News? the weather report?
Well in the last year Phineas has turned me onto PODCASTS. I might as well cancel my XM radio subscription in my car because I rarely listen anymore. I've found a podcast for many of my interests and I'd like to mention them here and recommend them to you.
As a performer, I enjoy listening to "The Magic Word". The interviews with well known magicians are well done and the live day by day convention interviews and reviews are great. I couldn't go to FISM in Italy in 2015 but I got in depth reports and info with the convention in the background....very cool.
Another wonderful podcast is the "Kids Entertainment" network. This cast out of the UK covers everything related to becoming a better childrens' entertainer. This includes interviews with experts in performance, marketing, routine building, etc etc. Its very comprehensive.
I also found an entire podcast on busking that interviewed some of the most influential members of the street performing community called "The Busker Project." I've listened to some of these interviews multiple times.
And the best part is that the podcasts are only the beginning. Each podcast home webpage has links to show notes related to each topic which hooks you into all the background and references and contacts mentioned.
The rest of my time is spent listening to any of the 20 podcasts that are part of the TrekFM network, a podcast network all about my favorite SciFi phenomenon that turned 50 this year, Star Trek!
So check out your podcast resources on your computer or on the app store on our smartphone or other device. The wealth of knowledge and enjoyable conversation will enrich your down time.
Keep 'em clean
