I have recently been searching various podcasts to find things that might hold my interest on the commute to and from work (which can be anything from 45 minutes to 2 hours). I have listened to some very good podcasts, that have almost professional production values, and I've heard some awful ones where the quality was poor and it wasn't worth the hassle of downloading and listening if only to save getting a headache.
One of the more interesting of podcasts I found was "Witchy Living" on Blog Talk Radio. Although the hostess, Cairelle, seems to struggle with sound quality, the topics are interesting and it's well worth the odd bit of interference. Combining hoodoo and witchcraft practices, the show has looked at the lighter (funnier) side of magic so far. That said, the topic of hexes has arisen, so this blog does not shy away from ethical issues surrounding magical work. When "Witchy Living" is going out live, there is a chat discussion at the fan website held concurrently, and it is possible to telephone the hostess and interact direct. Despite these distractions for Cairelle, she does produce a podcast worth listening to.
I will continue to subscribe and I hope others give this unique blogging podcast a chance.
