Epistelesslogical Rupture discovers loves of podcasts ... for the first time ... again

The Epistelesslogical Rupture has discovered its love of podcasts ... for the first time ... again.

The Winning Non-Library-Related Podcast
After following the Onion Radio News podcast via Gmail RSS feeds for most of 2006, something suddenly changed in the way that the Onion Radio News podcast posted its daily newsbriefs in RSS. Consequently, the Epistelesslogical Rupture spent most of 2007 in a state of disbelief ... believing that the Epistelesslogical Rupture would never again be able to download the Onion Radio News podcast without using iTunes. The Epistelesslogical Rupture was very, very sad.

Imagine the Epistelesslogical Rupture's surprise when the Epistelesslogical Rupture discovered, through the guidance provided by the fine folks at theskokieten.blogspot.com, that the Epistelesslogical Rupture could once again access and download the Onion Radio News on a daily basis through a subscription in Google Reader ... (You see, the Epistelesslogical Rupture finds that an excellent holiday gift for warped family members is a best-of-the-year compilation CD using the best of the worst from the Onion Radio News...)

The Epistelesslogical Rupture sends many thanks to The Skokie Ten Team for unlocking this secret, for solving the Riddle of the Onion Podcast, for enabling the Epistelesslogical Rupture to access immature humor more easily.

The Winning Library-Related Podcast
More importantly, the Epistelesslogical Rupture learned that there are a lot of podcasts out there other than the Onion Radio News. One podcast of particular interest is LibVibe, a weekly five-to-seven-minute newscast about libraries. While this is approximately four times longer than the average Onion Radio News brief, the Epistelesslogical Rupture found the professional quality and content of the reporting to be highly interesting and engaging. If the Epistelesslogical Rupture has set it up properly, you can click on the LibVibe logo at right to connect to the LibVibe podcast blog. If not, click here instead. The url for the feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/LibVibe



The Non-Winning, Quasi-Library-Related Podcast
Less enjoyable was the Epistelesslogical Rupture's adventure with the esoteric, free-verse content of the Secret Library Science Research Lab podcast. The Epistelesslogical Rupture by definition is accustomed to being less logical. The Secret Library Science Research Lab podcast takes less logical to new heights, and the Epistelesslogical Rupture is scared of those sorts of heights.

Some Things Are Coming Together
The Epistelesslogical Rupture is also learning to appreciate the power of GoogleR eader as the Epistelesslogical Rupture continues to explore the ways it intersects with podcasts, and in the way that the Epistelesslogical Rupture can access its Google Reader and Picasa content from the Epistlesslogical Rupture's cell phone web browser.
