The Apple Podcasts (free) app released recently for iPad and iPhone provides a focused way for us to find and listen to educational podcasts. Previously, podcasts were downloaded through the iTunes app, which was a bit more confusing and hidden. With the current app, you can subscribe (receive updates) to, stream, or download podcasts. I have always thought of podcasts as free learning tools that let you "reclaim" your drive time; these entertaining "talk shows" about subjects related to your work can teach you quite a bit! Additionally, just search the catalog for "kids" and there are quite a few you can use as a context to build auditory comprehension and strategies.

Many cars have an AUX port that can connect to an iPhone or iPad. You can also get a cheap FM transmitter that will broadcast audio from your device to an unused FM frequency. Doesn't everyone have a copy of Rhea Paul in his car?
