Week 11 - Podcasts

I am not a fan!!!

Okay, I got that out of my system.  Let me start by saying I am an INTROVERT (I learned this in my HRM class this semester).  I reenergize with quiet alone time (QUIET).  I work in a hospital with over 20 people in my office and another 15 in our other office on the opposite side of the hall 2 floors up.  There are patients, employees and volunteers in the hallways if I walk from one site to the other.  I have a 5 year old a partner and 2 dogs (also neighbors that like to socialize)  I do enjoy all this, but...I do not need nor want anyone talking at me from or about a podcast.  Now, to be fair, this has nothing to do with the podcast and everything to do with me (don't hate the podcast).

I thought I had it figured out this week, I always struggle with the research part of this class.  I downloaded the podcast app to my cell and was all set to listen on my way to and from work.  Well, after downloading the app on Sunday evening, I forgot to listen Monday.  Tuesday on the way home I remembered to look it up and set one to start before I left work, forgot to hit play when I got to the car.  Wednesday I did listen on the way to work, for about 1/10th of a mile.  All I kept thinking was "why is this person talking at me".  Wednesday I was determined to find one I could listen to.  I found Mighty Mommy's and I got through it. I guess after you get through the first chit-chat or non-scripted stuff they actually do say some things.

I will admit I did better with the video podcasts because I had something to watch while I listened but still not a huge fan.

Now we know!!!
