    Book prices on Audible are ridiculous. I like to get my audio books from the library. Download them to my phone, and good to go. I don't get to keep them, but if I want another listen I just check it out again.

    As far as podcasts go, I'm always on the lookout for more. One of my favorites right now is Crime In Sports. Not a sports show, more of a true crime format with a little comedy thrown in where the criminals are athletes. The hosts are savage when it comes to poking fun at these guys for having it all then throwing it away for stupid reasons, usually drugs. Anyone remember boxer Riddick Bowe? He was overshadowed by Tyson most of his career, but was Heavyweight Champion in 1992. He made a mess of his post career life, and ended up driving for CRST. Not for long, but does anybody?

    Astonishing Legends
    Our Fake History
    Myths and Legends

    These are some that I enjoy as well.

    Makes the list above. Lol.

    This one isn't for everyone.... The stories are usually hyper-perverted & Kevin has no shame about being a 'Red head queer'. Kink camp, Benoit balls, human urinals.... Lmao..... I like it, it's twisted, even tho maybe not in my direction.

    Podcasts can be whatever you want to hear. You can listen to some idiot tell booger jokes or listen to history of the Roman Empire. All I listen to everyday are podcasts. I use a $30 MP3 player (Sansa Clip Jam) rather than my phone because you don't have to look it it to control it. The cops can't tell if you are updating Facebook or playing a podcast on your phone.

    This episode was the most horrific, sad, FRIGHTENING and DISTURBING podcast i have ever listened to BAR NONE----and the strange/sad part is, i can't get enough of this podcast.

    Sword and Scale Episode 104

    2) Correction: It turns out that i do have some time to listen to podcasts, because one of the weekend gigs turned out to be a long distance run that i can't get into detail right now----but it's a lot of mileage.
     
    Smut and Naptown Thank this.
