I subscribe to a number of podcasts through the app on my iPhone. They are great for a long commute or anytime I have to wait or if I am doing something especially mindless at work, but I have never found any Jewish podcasts I felt like needed to subscribe to. Through Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and the blogs I subscribe to and access through Feedly, I feel pretty saturated. However, I expected there would be a few that I would subscribe to after doing this assignment.

Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL): some of these episodes look really good. However, it looks somewhat abandoned.

As it turns out this seemed to be an issue for most of the podcasts that looked interesting to me. Exceptions: there were a few text podcasts that looked active and interesting, Like Pardes from Jerusalem. And Heidi Estrin, a Jewish librarian who is very involved in AJL, has a book blog that would for sure be a useful tool for locating materials. It’s called: //The Book of Life//.

There were some general Jewish podcasts that looked good, but again there was a currency issue. The exception in this area is //Vox Tablet//, which I loved. I wish there were most casts, but at least it looks like they do them with some regularity.

Aura While not music related - this is a community project piloted by members of my husband's congregation. It is a daily podcast to complete nach yomi https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tanach-study/id930200652?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D4

I agree with what Amy said; there are wonderful Podcasts for many interests-I too listen to some during my commute and at other times. I have not found any that are related to Jewish education that interest me. As others have mentioned, "Pardes from Jerusalem" sounds interesting, as it is non-denominational in its commentary on text, so it could be useful. Many of the Podcasts were either Orthodox or Messianic, neither of which would be what I would be looking for in my work. There were some for Modern Hebrew, so that could be good for individual study.

Amy also mentioned that there were Podcasts that seemed to be abandoned; personally, I was disappointed to see that there used to be one by the RAC (Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism) that is not kept up. It seems to me there are many more interesting Jewish Ed related apps for iPhones & iPads then there are Podcasts; check out "Getting Ready for Passover" from Godcast!

1. The Foundation for Jewish Studies: [Professor|http://podcast.foundjs.org/] Professor Marc Saperstein has two wonderful lectures on Sephardi history on this site. There are a host of other lectures including one on the Inquisition in Portugal.

2. Pardes from Jerusalem has a whole collection of Divrei Torah. I particularly like this one for Shabbat HaGadol. []

3. Mechon Hadar. [] Among a wide variety of podcasets, they have an interesting collection on egalitarian Judaism.
