Back then, I had huge libraries of shows that I downloaded, organized, and listened to using Winamp or Windows Media Player. One industry group, GMSA, estimates that 50% of all cars sold in 2015 will be internet-connected, and 100% by 2025. Connected cars are a boon for the entire streaming audio industry, but they’re especially exciting for black chef pants podcast makers, whose shows are perfectly suited to in-car listening. Life-cycle assessment shows it to be of ecological benefit. I'm sure I'm being shown the home for a reason. I also don't see a particular reason to decorate my home. During the Dark Ages, people living in monasteries and castles carried on the practice, sometimes shaping plants into the religious symbols you can see in the backgrounds of paintings from that period. Just add an outdoor rug and garden lantern for a cosy outdoor living room feel. Pick the bundle that’s right for you, add on moving supplies and checkout online. Roose says that "sometime around 2009 or 2010, the podcast scene seemed to wither," but doesn’t say how specifically and I’m going to just be blunt and say that’s because he’s completely wrong on this point.

Without exaggeration, I can say that I spend more time listening to podcasts than I do listening to music (at least, not ambiently) or watching TV. I wonder: Was it the iPod that gave the podcast its first boost, or would podcasts have done just fine, even if we were all listening to them on our Diamond Rios or our Creative NOMADS? To begin at the beginning, "clutch" first appeared in English in the 14th century (from the Middle English "cloke," claw) with the meaning "the claw of a beast or bird of prey." By the 16th century, we were using it in the sense of "the human hand," especially in the plural and with overtones of cruelty or danger, still heard in phrases such as "in the clutches of the criminals." In tandem with the verb "to clutch," the noun eventually moved on to meaning simply "very tight grip on, or desperate grab at, something." The mechanical sort of "clutch," which connects or disconnects power from an engine, dates to the early 18th century and takes its name from its tight grip when engaged. But even longer ago, you could do the same thing with a portable radio tuner that drew power from a car’s cigarette lighter (those were the days) or tape deck accessory, either of which basically let you run anything with a headphone jack into the system.

If your tape is pretty enough to display, you can make it part of your décor scheme. I’d venture to guess that for the segment of our population responsible for this podcastaissance - people you’d have to call "early adopters" if this article is right about the popular trajectory of podcasts - podcasts are already a central part of their commutes, whether they are walking, biking, riding public transportation, or driving. The car, after all, is already connected; safety forbids us taking full advantage of it as long as we’re the ones driving. Once we’re "liberated" from worrying about safety, Big TV will be there. In the long-term, autonomous vehicles will change how roads are designed, and then even entire cities. Most of the Medical Schools in China are recognized in the World Health Organization ( WHO )'s "Directory of World Medical Schools". Of course, that the iPod came out in 2001 was a wonderfully lucky coincidence for the guys who had figured out how to use RSS to automate delivery of audio that same year. Both Google and Apple have rolled out connected-car platforms, and most new cars sold in the U.S.

I suppose that doesn’t matter much but I’m still a bit unenthusiastic about declaring the podcast an Apple victory when the iPod was created purely as a trojan horse to get Apple into the music industry. I remember listening to all kinds of internet-native broadcasts in my dorm room in the late 90s. Back when Scully still grabbed clues from "THE INTERNET" and that seemed slick. It never withered. He just wasn’t listening. If I’m running, or working out at the gym, or driving, I’m probably listening to a podcast. Coin experts said the Royal Mint has been pumping out increasing numbers of the special coins in recent years. They find it very disturbing that so many watch buyers on the Internet are purchasing vintage timepieces for the sole purpose of parting them out. French door refrigerators are some of the most popular models among consumers because they are spacious, energy efficient, and stylish. Only brought back for two modern models in 2012 and 2013, the Boss not only was straight in a fast line but could handle the corners as well, something for which muscle cars were not known. But the basic nature of the format - audio "broadcast" over the public internet - is about as old as, well, the public internet.
