iPod + earbuds

I don’t like doing the dishes. Do you? Somehow, I’m just so darn slow at it, to the extent that washing up after a simple meal can take me as much as 30 minutes. But one of the best ways I have found to make this task a little less painful is to listen to a podcast while I’m scrubbing away. In fact, Mitch Joel might be pleased to know that I’ve taken in portions of his last three episodes of Six Pixels of Separation while standing at the sink on a Sunday afternoon.

Elsewhere around the house:

* Music shows such as Accident Hash or Student Loan Radio seem to work well for me when folding laundry.

* A few months ago, before outdoor temps here in Boston had turned frigid, I remember listening to a Robert French interview with Ted Demopoulos all about Ted’s new book, What No One Ever Tells You About … Blogging and Podcasting (full disclosure: I’m quoted in the book), while raking the leaves in the backyard.

So if you’re trying to find creative ways to keep up with your favorite podcasts without having to skip an episode, pop in those earbuds as you make your way through those mind-numbing household duties.
