My Favorite Knitting and Food Podcasts

I recently got an IPod and have spent the past several weeks familiarizing myself with podcasts.  Perhaps it's not surprising, but I find myself downloading and listening to knitting podcasts at a greater frequency than other podcasts and music choices.  Because I seem to be listening to knitting podcasts everyday during my work commutes, I thought it would be fun to share my favorite podcasts to date:

• KnitPicks:  The KnitPicks yarn, needles and book online company now has a great knitting podcast.  I've listened to all of the podcasts to date and find them extremely relaxing and interesting.  I especially like the "Knitter who Loved Books"  segment of each podcast because it really makes me consider picking up books that I previously disregarded because of their titles, covers, laziness or other silly reason.

• Cast On:  LOVE this podcast.  Brenda Dayne is really fun, interesting and has great discussions about knitting, Wales and life.  This might be my favorite podcast to date.

• KCRW's Good Food:  One of my former L.A.-based friends who is a total foodie highly recommended this podcast.  I finally downloaded it a few weeks ago, and although it is pretty regionally-focused on Southern California, there are just a lot of great general discussions about food that make this podcast valuable to any lover of good food.  I've already learned that I should stew my own chickpeas to make hummus instead of using canned chickpeas (it's a recipe I hope to try soon) and the evolution of wine drinking in America.

I have checked out a few more podcasts, but these three are definitely my favorites.  I hope you check them out, and I also hope that folks will send me their top podcast recommendations.
