I've been listening to a lot of knitting podcasts again, mainly because they help keep me motivated. I do most of my listening at work because I'm currently alone in the laboratory, plugging away on sorting and boxing up artifacts (whee!). It's nice and peaceful (for a change), but sometimes even I get sick of the silence.
However, I am getting mildly frustrated because I've noticed that the podcasts that do reviews all tend to do the same review at around the same time. I can only hear so many reviews about, for example (because its the latest case), Handmade in the U.K. by Tin Can Knits before it makes me want to throw something. (That said, there are some super cute patterns in that e-book. I love the Loch mittens, especially.)
Anyway, I previously listed several podcasts that I'd been listening to and enjoying, and I still listen to all of them, though I've taken to listening to only selected episodes of Talkin' Toons and Nerdist. I've added several (both knitting and non-knitting) to my lineup; if you're interested in what in the world those might be, take a peek below!
Have a podcast to recommend? Just leave me a comment--I'm always interested in new ones!

Podcasts might actually be a bad thing...
Recently at work I've been doing a lot of data checking, which is as boring as it sounds.
However, I actually don't mind it too much, because I can kind of get into a zone and tear through it. Also, it gives me ample time to catch up on Podcasts.
Now, my interest in Podcasts is fairly new. Awhile back, my friend Rachel listed a whole bunch that she enjoyed on our old team blog, FiberFreaks (the post is likely still viewable here, but the blog itself is no longer updated). I tried to listen to a couple of the knitting ones, but not too many of them appealed to me, so I lost interest.
Recently, though, I've re-discovered a few of them and found several that I really enjoy, both knitting-related and not. However, my wallet is bracing itself because so many of the knitting ones have listed books, yarns, projects, accessories, or yarn clubs that I have been intriuged by. I have a giant list of sticky notes that I have to go through with things mentioned in various podcasts.
I don't listen to very many because I have a hard time keeping up with them. If you're interested in what's currently on my Podcast list, though, click past the break.
