Podcasting-Thing 17

This was fun and exciting and it gave me a chance to see how some tools build on eachother. I'm a big NPR fan, and I know that they have all kinds of podcasts, so I went to NPR site to see what podcasts I could add to either my Bloglines account or somewhere. NPR makes it very easy to sign up for podcasts, they actually have a podcast button on their homepage. From there they listed all their programs and I found a couple of programs that I enjoy listening to "Whad'ya know" and "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me." Both are very humorous and when I can get good reception in my car I laugh my head off!
The best part is that NPR makes it so easy to download the podcast if you have a My Yahoo account. Well, I just happen to have a My Yahoo account! So I opened it up in a different IE tab and click, download to My Yahoo, and there it appeared. It asked if I wanted to keep the new additions to the page, I clicked OK and now I have a whole bunch of episodes from my favorite shows that I can listen to. Woo hoo!
I have to say that I tried figuring out how to add podcasts to my Bloglines account and I couldn't, so I'm glad NPR made it so easy.
I hope the rest of the things are this easy!
