Listening to podcast on iPod

I spent a lot of time driving every day and was looking at ways of spending that time more productive. That prompted me to start looking for audiobooks and podcasts that I could listen to. I started off with just a FM modulator and a USB fash drive, but that did not work well as the FM modulator insisted on re-starting a track from the start after it was stopped. This is fine for music tracks, but when you are listening to an hour long talk, it meant that you can never reach the second half of the talk. Spending money on an Apple iPod solved that problem. Fortunately I had no problems getting the iPod to work with Ubuntu.

Go ahead and feed your brain during those times that just go to waste now.
