Podcast Advent Day 4

It’s the Christmas season and with that comes the season of Advent. Advent is a time of year when we look forward to Christmas and reflect upon the gift of Christ’s birth. This is usually marked off by lighting candles (weekly or daily) and calendars full of chocolate. It usually also includes some kind of devotional. I’m not going to provide a devotional but what I do plan to offer this month may be of interest to you.

This advent I thought I would provide a virtual calendar of podcasts that may interest you. These are all podcasts that I listen to currently and/or highly recommend that you listen to if your intrests align with the hosts.

You might be thinking that Johnny is all work and no play considering the list of podcasts to make the list so far.  Far from it, I think you need a healthy dose of play in your life.  One way I play is by watching Netflix and a great way to hear about shows to watch is by listening to Queue Hog.

Queue Hog is a weekly podcast that reviews movies and TV programs available on Netflix.  James Kennison hosts John Steinklauber, Erik Fisher, and Christopher Titchnall in a round-table discussion about various shows they’ve watched in the past week.  The podcast is one hour of amusing commentary that is sure to bring a smile to your face.  I frequently find myself laughing out loud at the comments they make about the shows they’ve watched.

Each week the groups watched the first 10 minutes of one TV program and the first two episodes of another.  The friendly banter among the participants is a highlight but the honest opinions about each program will certainly help you decide what you might want to consider adding to your Netflix queue.

If you’d like to leave feedback about this or any other episode you can call and leave a voice mail by calling 518-290-0228, send email to geek@jesusgeek.info, or leave a comment on the blog.

Seth Godin’s book, Linchpin, sparked a revolution among cubicle dwellers.  Andy Traub’s Linchpin Podcast seeks out those who’ve been influenced by Godin’s book and delves deep into their psyche to find out what makes them Linchpins.

OK, maybe that’s a little dramatic but if you do want to hear great interviews with people like Tom Ziglar and Dan Miller then look no further.  Andy’s interviews are thoughtful and precise.  He packs a lot of great material in each and every episode.  Unlike the last two podcasts mentioned you can expect to spend at least an hour listening to the thoughts of successful people who’ve taken the principles in Linchpin and applied them to business and life.

Andy has other great podcasts that you may want to explore as part of his Take Permission Media Network check them out and see if there’s something there that interests you.  If business-oriented podcasts aren’t your cup of tea, maybe you want to learn to be a better husband or need some tips on natural child birth.  That’s all for today, tune in tomorrow for another great podcast.

For the second day I thought I would recommend Get-It-Done Guy’s Quick and Dirty Tips to Work Less and Do More.  The holiday season can be very busy and hectic.  The hustle and bustle of the holiday season often raises stress levels and it seems like you can’t get every thing done.  That’s where Stever Robbins and his quick and dirty tips will help you.

The 365 Days of Astronomy podcast will start things off. Since it was a star that signaled the birth of our King I thought it appropriate to start by looking to the skies. Continue Reading…
