I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner. But I’ve created a Smart Playlist iTunes for whatever podcasts that I have not listened to yet. It’s not rocket science but I will share what I did for anyone who was slower than I was in realizing how useful this would be.
The screen capture above shows my settings. I found that when I had an audio book from Librivox in my list it was too much. So I added the exclusion for Librivox.
This Smart Playlist allows me to pop my headphones on and workout or mow the lawn without having to fiddle with my iPod Touch at the end of a podcast to get the next one going. Very handy!
I watched “The Wind That Shakes the Barley” on Netflix. Great movie about the Irish Uprising in the early Nineteenth Century. Not for the faint at heart though. Some scenes are very graphic and emotional. Worth checking out.
The Great Fearless Dark Overlord, Scott Sigler, has finished podcasting his sci-fi novel “Contagious“. And it is awesome!
I’m a long time fan of Mr. Sigler, going all the way back to when he began podcasting “Earthcore” in 2005. “Contagious” is the sequel “Infected“.
Mr. Sigler’s material is all science fiction and horror related. To quote the author, all his stuff is written for a mature audience, contains adult anguage, and lots and lots of violence. It’s all good stuff!
Give any of his stuff a listen if you enjoy falling in love with a character in the story and then something gruesome happening to that character. Seriously, you just never know who will be dead at the end of his novels.
