Santa, may I have an MP3 player for Christmas?

There are all sorts of good podcasts out there free for the downloading.

There's the Michael Koolidge show with his interviews with a soldier in Iraq.  And This American Life is available -- the most recent broadcasts are free for a week.

Guardian Unlimited has three podcast episodes of The Ricky Gervais Show, one each for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and hot off the press, Christmas Eve.  He's the Brit who created The Office.

And let's not forget The Glenn and Helen Show and Pajamas Media Political Central podcasts.

And if that's not enough, Odeo.com has a couple of million things available for downloading.  So turn on, hook up, and download.

Thanks for listening, Santa.  The fire is out and the chimney is clean.  So come on down and have a hand full of delicious cookies.  (And leave the MP3 player!)
