There is another great source of knowledge that is freely available in the blogging world, and that is Podcast!

What is a podcast? It is the audio form of a blog posting. Instead of reading someone’s blog post you listen to it. It’s awesome!

How do you find these podcast? The majority of podcast available in the blogosphere can be found through itunes. (You must install itunes on your computer before you can subscribe to the podcast. LINK) For the bloggers that don’t link to itunes, their podcast will be available at their blog.

How much do they cost? 90% of all the podcast that I listen to from itunes are FREE!

How to sign up? The first step is to make sure that you have the latest itunes application installed on your computer. Then go into itunes store (from your itunes application) click on podcast in the left sidebar. Then you can search by topic, or keywords to find the podcast you want to subscribe too. After you found what you want click the button that says subscribe. Done!
If you are trying to subscribe to a podcast from a specific blog, you will need to locate the subscription options on the blogsite (if the bloggers podcast is listed in itunes he will have an itunes subscription button-recommended) and click whichever one best fits your audio preferences.

How often will I have to sign up? Only once! Once you are subscribed to the podcast, every time you launch the itunes application on you computer it will automatically update your podcast with the most recent entries.

You can listen while in the car at the gym or even at the office. Podcasting is a great way to get the information you want even when you are busy.
