------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The podcasts:
The first one, basically introduce the latest trends in the digital technology,
and criticize and comments on the products and systems.
Moreover they discuss which Bond is the best James Bond....
this is a long show, it takes an hour to listen.
The second one i chose is a Chinese Pod, it teaches you
some of the chinese character with audio and chinese pronounciation
and the differences between those similar words.
it is a good topic for teaching people Mandarin,
however it is not suitable for beginners,
because mostly they speak in Mandarin
The third one is the Disney Podcast,
in this episode, there is a girl named kiki to talk about
her experiences. it was a short podcast, however it contains
too many advertisment. it is only a 6 min show,
but there are about 6 advertisment advertising
the Disney Radio Podcast, which makes me think annoying.
PodCast Pros & Cons:
Pros:
- Free (Most of them)
- you can start whenever you want and stop whenever you want
- play back whenever you want to and without start from the beginning
- you can fast forward it, and rewind
- you can make it play slowly - everyone speak really slow
- RSS can be use to receive latest episode
Cons:
- you do not own a hard copy of the podcast
- if you do not have internet, you cant access to any podcast
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Experience:
Personally, i do not enjoy it at all,
because i do not think its special,
it is like listening to radio,
but, they just have more topics...
like radio has more channels
it is not something that i would do again,
as i perfer magazines more than podcast.
for magazines, you have a copy of it,
and whenever you have a question,
you can open your magazine, and track it.
For Podcast, you will have to listen it
all over again unless you remember
when the information you need is from...
for example... (7minute 31sec to 7minute 58 sec is what you want)

Audio Book
The one i chose is Peter Pan
http://www.audible.com/adbl/site/products/ProductDetail.jsp?productID=BK_LILI_000441&BV_UseBVCookie=Yes
its a classic story for all of us...
i listen a sample from the site,
but there is one problem is,
when i listen, i dont know where
they actually start,
so i cant follow up the story...
The idea of Audio Book
the idea is good, especially for people that who are blind.
also it is an good idea for school,
like teacher plays the audio book to lower grade kids.
Kids always love stories !
There are a lot of audio books for reader to choose,
from different catergories...
(science fiction, arts and entertainment, newspaper and magazine, science and technology...etc)
www.audible.com
is offering first 3 months for $7.49/ month
and there are free audio everyweek
http://www.simplyaudiobooks.ca
Unlimited rental for a amount of money
If someone really love the audio book,
they would perfer paying a fix price for unlimited reading...
although i do not know how much do they earn per book for the company... :p
