Economist podcast, part 2…

Well, my first attempt to download didn’t get the whole file (~160MB of MP3’s in a zip file, 82 files in all this time).  Second time got it all.  I loaded it into iTunes last night, and listened on my commute (~50 minutes of drive time) this morning.  I like this, but I’m thinking that I’m unlikely to get through a whole issue before the next weekly one comes out, especially if I listen to any NPR.  Looks to be about 8 hours or more of running time.

I like the way they did it.  The production is good, and they change readers with each piece so you get different voices and that keeps the interest up.  If you are a subscriber, check it out!  If you are not, you might want to give it a look…an excellent magazine!
