As we move into 2009 I’m looking to add to the collection of podcasts I listen to.

All of the podcasts below are free and I listen to each of them on a weekly basis.

I know it seems like there are a lot of podcasts listed here, but by using the Zune software (here) it makes managing my podcasts so simple.

I love to gain knowledge and I’m constantly learning from these podcasts.

When I’m at work I almost always have my ear buds in…listening while I work. This list doesn’t include the audio books I listen to as well…but go check out audible (here) and you’ll find that before you know it you’ll be like me listening to 1 book every 2 weeks.

Here’s my list, if you know of other good podcasts please send them my way!
