A podcast is an audio program that you can listen to on your computer or mobile device. Unlike the radio, you can listen to podcasts anytime you want, at your own convenience. You can stream or download a podcast automatically using a podcast player.

Eden Recommends The Crossover
At our in-person Books & Bites meetings and in our podcast, we talk about books based on themes. For April, we discussed poetry and books about the environment. For May, we'll be discussing sports and exercise.
Here's a novel in verse that I recommended in April but that also fits our May theme. I promise you'll like it, even if you don't like poetry—or sports. For more great sports recommendations, come to our May Books & Bites meeting.
