I would like to have some real interactions with folks who live in the areas I visit. While I have not used CS before I have several friends who have and enjoyed it.

I listen to a lot of podcasts and thanks to every job Ive had for the last ten years I have logged thousands of hours listening to real conversations or small production shows from real interesting people. I think it's a very exciting time for spoken word audio of many sorts Music- old timey of many sorts, western swing, jazz , bluegrass, punk, funk, certain country, blues, metal, hip hop, xhardcorex, marching bands, certain beats and computer generated music, bagpipes, ragtime, yadda yadda yadda Books- I listen to more books these days, my main current recommendation is "Up in the Old Hotel" movies- Either comedies or period pieces. I've never been into horror.
