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?
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.
