The Mighty I-Pod Shuffle


I finally found a use for this devise.  It's good therapy for Cloody, or rather we think it could be. Each afternoon I plug the I-Pod into the stereo and we listen for about an hour to Podcasts of various works of literature.  Mostly poems or short stories.  This is supposed to a good mental exercise for her.  Such wonderful works by authors like Robert Louis Stevenson, Poe, O'henry, Kipling, Noyes, Richmal Crompton, and P. G. Wodehouse to mention a few.   Most of what we listen to comes from The Clsssic Tales Podcast  and may be found on the I-Tune music store.  All are free downloads.

That sounds like a good thing . Is that where you got poor old Sam McGee?

Frank Baker said...

No, I got Sam from another site. There is another poem on my sidebar; Casey at the Bat. Click on it .It's a real classic;

Thanks for this Frank. In the past I've just been annoyed by iTunes so I need to check this out. It sounds really great, maybe I'll have to recant!

As a mother of 5 I am so glad there is a positive reason for the I-Pod! Hope it helps!!

Frank, I don't know if this is available, but if you can find the podcast of "The Velveteen Rabbit," read by Meryl Streep, I think Cloody will enjoy it. It's a touching, heartfelt story that's a classic for people of all ages.

Be sure to get the Meryl Streep version.
