For the last few weeks I&#8217;ve been residing at the Wayne State Center for Addictive Behavior Studies, trying to rid myself of an addiction to Diet Pepsi Vanilla. This isn&#8217;t much of an excuse for not blogging though; the Center does have Internet access, and I had plenty of time in which to update my site &#8212; physical activity is frowned upon (it builds up thirst) so I mainly spent the days in the dorms anyway. What was and has been taking up most of time are podcasts.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Like someone who quits smoking and starts gaining weight, I&#8217;m afraid I&#8217;ve replaced one addiction with another. I can&#8217;t stop listening to podcasts. I didn&#8217;t really start getting into them until iTunes 4.9 added podcatching capability (in May of last year), so I have a lot of catching up to do. It&#8217;s funny how many casts started up in March and April of last year, and are thus celebrating their first anniversaries now.  Once I start listening to a podcast I feel compelled to subscribe to the whole feed and listen to all of it. One downside is this ends up with me perpetually living in the past, stuck in a loop of discussions of Pope John Paul II&#8217;s death, the Terri Schiavo court case, and the subway bombings in London. The biggest downside is that keeping up with these feeds is occupying a lot of my time. I can&#8217;t remember the last time I clicked the &#8220;Music&#8221; tab on my iPod and listened to some old favorite album or song. The only music I seem to listen to is whatever new band a podcaster chooses to present to me.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#8217;m still plodding along though. I got caught up with all the Catholic Insider podcasts in about four months; with pigheaded determination I plowed through 235 episode of Keith and The Girl in exactly two months. And I&#8217;m doing this all over again, having just subscribed to 41 episodes of Dave&#8217;s Lounge yesterday.  <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; There have been a few casualties along the way too. I gave up on giving any more time to Dawn &#038; Drew, Daily Source Code, The Word Nerds, Slate Magazine and Slate Explainer, Radio Go Daddy, WireImage, Open Source Sex, Drink &#8217;Til We&#8217;re Funny!, The Animation Podcast (an interesting one, but sticking to it was too much like homework), Digital Life TV, Inside Mac Radio and Inside Mac TV, Amiee Mann&#8217;s podcast, <i>Le Show<\/i>, <i>Morning Becomes Eclectic<\/i>, Mugglecast, Olde English Sketch Comedy, Barack Obama&#8217;s podcast, and any and all Foxcasts, to name a few.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; To come publicly clean, in an air of full disclosure, here are the reasons why I&#8217;ve been so lax in adding new content here. I have not bothered to demarcate audio and video podcasts; and all links go to homepages rather than podcast feeds.<br><div style=\"margin-left:50px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/24cast\"><i>24<\/i> Cast<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/premium.airamericaradio.com\/\">Air America: <i>The Majority Report<\/i><\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/premium.airamericaradio.com\/\">Air America: <i>The Marc Maron Show<\/i><\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/premium.airamericaradio.com\/\">Air America: <i>The Rachel Maddow Show<\/i><\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/premium.airamericaradio.com\/\">Air America: <i>The Randi Rhodes Show<\/i><\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.macfixit.com\/\">A Quick Fix from MaxFitIt.com<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/askaninja.com\/taxonomy\/term\/20\/0\">Ask a Ninja<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bnlblog.com\/\">Barenaked Ladies Podcast<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/podcasts\">Bono: The <i>Rolling Stone<\/i> Interview<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sqpn.com\/scripts\/catholicinsider.php\">Catholic Insider<\/a><br><a href=http:\/\/www.channelfrederator.com\/\">Channel Frederator<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/chewinggumvolley.libsyn.com\/\">Chewing Gum Volley<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clerks2.com\/trainwreck\/index.php\"><i>Clerks 2<\/i><\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/commandn.typepad.com\/\">commandN<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/crankygeeks.com\/blogs\/crankygeeks\/default.aspx\">Cranky Geeks<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/bjason.libsyn.com\/\">DAGNABBIT!<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sqpn.com\/scripts\/dailybreakfast.php\">Daily Breakfast<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/daveslounge.com\/\">Dave\\&#8217;s Lounge<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/revision3.com\/diggnation\">Diggnation<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/digitaldetroitradio.libsyn.com\/>Digital Detroit Radio<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.screenarchives.com\/fsmonline\/main.cfm\"><i>Film Score Monthly<\/i> Podcast<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.glastonburypodcasting.com\/\">Glastonbury Podcasting<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.htguys.com\/\">HDTV Podcast<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.herroflomjapan.com\/\">Herro Flom Japan<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/revision3.com\/infected\">Infected by Martin Sargent<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/iplaymusic.blogspot.com\/\">iPlayMusic: Guitar Lesson Videos<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewPodcast?id=73663807&#038;s=143441\">iTunes New Music Tuesday<\/a> &#8211;
