Summary: I need better rowing material than Angel--love the show, but, hey, "higher self" would rather catch up on famous web developers or philosophers. I row multiple hours per week; scheduling around TV schedules is dysfunctional. On demand listening of relevant growth material lowers dysfunction index on two counts . Podcasts, of course! Why? Because I could wear a player (e.g., ipod or rio karma) and still row. Playbacks would be from rss subscriptions automatically downloaded to my mac and copied, via ethernet connection, to my player. I could then listen to the player whenever, and as long as, I row. All that's left is saving up enough to buy the player.
