The Pier at Sunset by Claudine Intner

Oh, summer! I thought for sure that the Mom Bus would get a break, but the three boys are at two different camps. So I am doing a LOT of driving around. I was going to track down some audio books, and then my husband mentioned podcasts. Even though I have done the whole ipod thing for a while, I never really listened to podcasts. I am very excited that I found a few good ones, and I wanted to pass them along to you!

• Craftcast - Most of you have probably heard this one before. Alison Lee is the fabulous host who shares lots of fun bits of info. Each episode includes an interview with an artist, crafter, or some other person of interest. I particularly liked this week’s interview with Doug Fisher, president of Mission Control. He is an organizational guru. The key thought from him was that you will never get everything on your to do list done! Seriously think about it! It is actually a freeing thought.
• CraftyPod – I found this by searching through the iTunes store. When I popped over to the CraftyPod web site to grab the link, I discovered that Diane Gilleland does videos, too. Ooh. Aah. I enjoyed the latest podcast,  Why Your Story is Everything, with Tara Gentile. Tara highlighted the importance of telling a story about your work not just the facts of the piece. It got my gears turning!
• Art Marketing Action Podcast – I love Alyson Stanfield! She has a wealth of professional advice for artists. I learned a lot in her blogging class and will be taking her upcoming Get Organized class. Her podcasts are packed with useful information.

If you are new to podcasts, don’t despair! You don’t need an ipod to listen to them. Just pop on over to the web sites of these podcasts and you can listen on your computer!

And if you are already listening to podcasts, send me info on your favorites! I will be sure to share any other good ones I find.

See you later! It’s time for another Mom Bus run!
