Sunday morning reflections

I went on the iPhone podcast app and subscribed to a whole bunch of podcasts.  So far what I've heard is okay.  I loved Hollywood Housewife's blog-which now, sadly, she's given up-but I don't know about the podcasts.  There was some Jesus in there-so clearly not my thing-the woman who runs the show is okay (she's no Diane Rehm) and so I'm not sure how much of these I'm going to listen to.  They're kind of filler.  I love the idea of them.  It reminds me of radio shows-so I feel a nostalgic pull towards them.  I see myself puttering around the kitchen listening with half an ear.  And half listening for some of these "lighter" shows is probably fine.  But is it more worthwhile than the things I'm trying to pull away from?  The draw of the celeb gossip, the home decor, the style blogs? If I'm just replacing one silly thing for another?  What do I "get" out of that?  And how much time do I have for several podcasts?  The thing I enjoy about reading the blogs is that it's quick eye candy.  Of course there's a difference too between a few minutes of "catch up" with my morning coffee, or while I'm waiting for pasta water to boil at 5:30pm and spending what amounts to hours over a day at home avoiding something (a task, a feeling).
