When I forget to download my podcasts…

Every day before I head out in the morning I pick up my iPod and do a quick download of my favorite podcasts.  Buzz out loud is daily, but once in a while I am surprised by a new “The Instance” or “Wicked Good Podcast”, who’s schedule I still haven’t really figured out.  Then there are the day I forget.

I head out the door, podcastless, and am forced to turn on the radio.  Being a fan of talk radio, I naturally tune into WTKK.  The problem, Don Imus is on until 9AM.  Once in a blue moon he is talking about something I care to listen to but usually he is saying something that makes me think, “This idiot has a syndicated radio talk show!?!?”

Still, I have discovered something, listening to Imus is like a little punishment for forgetting to download my podcasts.  It reminds me to download tomorrow or face another hour of mind numbing Imus dribble.  So the next morning I think, “Crap, I better download my podcasts or I’ll suffer a bout of Imus.”  The only thing that saves me is if I am running late Michael Graham comes on just after 9.
