Once upon a time, as the fairy tale goes, a young man went off in search to find his true love. He slayed dragons, he defeated armies, he traveled over the seven seas, he journeyed far and wide to talk to a wise man. Well, you know the drill.When you think about it, that’s a whole lot of trouble to go through for a woman you haven’t met. And while the old fashioned romantics might think that the trials and tribulations are a test of true love, most of us feel that love itself is complicated enough  If you can find a simpler way of doing it—if you can get your hands on a secret, or a technique, that will spare you some of the stress (and embarrassment!) of dating—then grab it.

Babies aren’t born with instruction manual, and their sleep-deprived, exhausted parents have little time to plough through thick books in search for answers. As many a new mom has lamented, childcare textbooks and comprehensive manuals on fevers and fussiness are helpful only if you have the energy to read them. And most parents thrown into the crazy, confusing world of caring for a newborn barely have the time to brush their teeth.

Kids say the darndest things, and now they can say them to a lot more people, by making their own podcasts!

Their own podcasts? Yes! While it’s true that they got the help of some adults to help them with the controls and uploading it on the Internet, they were still very involved in the production. They thought of the concept, they chose the songs, they made the script, and acted it out.

You’ve heard about the Jules Verne classic, around the world in 80 days… well what about in 8 minutes?

Travel podcasts make that possible. For busy executives who don’t have time to take a weekend vacation, or adventure seekers whose budgets may force them to postpone a trip to the Mediterranean, travel podcasts are a great way of living vicariously. These entertaining and informative segments describe a country, its culture and its history—giving listeners a sense of what it would be like to be there.  Play them during your coffee break and escape to another world, without the hassle of booking a flight or getting over jet lag.
