One of the advantages of owning an iPod, aside from being able to lug around your whole music collection with you (as well as the music collections of others, he he), is being able to subscribe and listen to podcasts-- radio-shows-on-demand that you can listen to when you want to.
There are thousands of podcasts out there, which tackle every conceivable subject. One of those topics, of course, is basketball. The NBA being as popular as it is, it's not surprising that there are dozens of podcasts there that talk about the L.
The one I listen to? The Basketball Jones, hosted by J.E. Skeets and Tas Melas. It's one of two podcasts I subscribe to, and with good reason. One, they're funny. Two, they know their shit. Three, they're funny. Oh, and did I mention they're funny?
Even if you don't have an iPod, you can listen to them. First, download the latest version of iTunes. Once you have it up and running, go to the iTunes store, which you can connect to using iTunes itself. (Just make sure you're connected to the internet. You can't do this if you're not online. Just making sure. He he.) When you do this, type "The Basketball Jones" in the seach dialog box at the upper right corner of the iTunes window. When you see the podcast's logo, click subscribe, and you'll be able to automatically download episodes of TBJ every time you open iTunes. You can listen to it on your PC, or transfer it to your MP3 player.
Nothing beats the iPod, though. If you're thinking about getting a Zune, forget it. You won't be able to subscribe to ANY podcast.
Just so you know. :)
