Sounds juicy, doesn't it? Secret ... confession in the same headline?
Well, and then there's podcast, but that's why it's worthy of the iPhone blog.
You know how some folks don't like to talk about that secret music choice or movie that makes them cry? Well, I'm willing to share my strange love for the Canadian Broadcasting Company's "North This Week" podcast.
It's an audio podcast that has feature story from Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and Yukon Territory up in the far northern reaches of Canada.
I can't tell you why I like it because I have no idea. I just find it fascinating to hear about life in a place that seems so far removed -- yet it's like 3,000 miles straight north of here.
I have always had some sort of fascination with Canada. It happens to be the only other country I've ever been to. I'm not sure what it is about Canada that fascinates me ... I just love the fact that the spelling is different, the food is different, yet it's similar to what we have in the States. Again it's hard to explain.
But I suggest you at least check out the podcast and let me know what you think. Don't worry, I won't be offended if you don't like it.
I can't link to it here, but if you go to iTunes and select podcasts and then CBC, it's on Page 2.
Thanks for calling.

I asked you all to share your favorite podcasts and we got a bunch of suggestions. I'd love to hear from more of you, but I'd thought I'd mention caller favorites so far in case you want to check them out.
Please send your faves my way and we'll add it to the list. Perhaps, it's something we could make a permanent part of the blog so we can all learn from each other's tastes.
Thanks for calling.
