Genealogy Podcasts to Enjoy

Genealogy podcasts offer an option for listening to genealogy lectures, interviews, discussions and tutorials when and where you want - genealogy on demand. If you're unfamiliar with the term, a podcast is an audio (or sometimes video) file which is distributed over the Internet for playback on portable media players and personal computers. You can subscribe to podcasts, much like you suscribe to blogs, so you're informed as new podcasts become available. You can then listen to the podcast on your computer, download it to a digital audio player (iPod or other mp3 player), or burn it on a CD to listen to in the car.

2. Genealogy Gems Podcast

Host Lisa Cooke shares research strategies and inspiration for anyone researching their family history. New podcasts are generally published on a weekly basis and are approximately 25 minutes long. GenealogyGems is several years old, so there are over 100 archived podcasts available to keep you busy. I especially like the "show note" included with each link, so you know what to expect before you download.
