On the Joys of Travel

If you’re anything like me, you might enjoy driving (or flying, riding the train, etc.), but hate that it’s generally “lost” time. 

For years now, I’ve made a habit of taking whatever MP3 player I’ve had (currently my trusty Zune HD) whenever I hit the highway, listening to podcasts so I feel at least partially productive. 

And so here’s a listing of audio podcasts (I may add a post for video podcasts later) that you may find useful as a .NET developer. I’ve focused on podcasts that have recent activity, but if you have others that should be added to this index, please let me know.
