I've spent several hours reviewing different Podcasts... I never realized that there were so many of them around. I selected two chemistry podcasts that both discuss fundamental topics in chemistry and make them very easy to explain. I never have the time to do the demonstration that these teachers do because I don't have the time or they don't work out like I hoped. Sometimes, I wish I had four hands when I am doing demonstrations.
The last podcast I selected talks about general science topics over the past week. This will be useful for my students because I want them to stay current with all types of science, not just chemistry. After all, chemistry may not be their favorite topic and I want them to stay inspired with different topics in science. Maybe biology or physics is their preference, therefore, they can listen to current biology and or physics programs that keep them interested.

In general, I like podcasts because they cover information in a way that I haven't thought of or I am uncapable to do based on time limitations. Afterall, this is one way to reach students that I have never thought of before!
