Heh, I’m flattered to see that both Dave and I got nominated in the Education category at the PodCastAwards.com.

They’re billing it as a People’s Choice type of awards show, which means its an over glorified popularity contest. I’m a little disappointed that they didn’t split up “education” from “Instructional”. Three of the podcasts in the category revolve around the world of education, one is about how to learn to play guitar and one is a podcast with tips for digital photographers (which I’ve heard is actually quite good). Lumping those five together really doesn’t make much sense, but that’s the way it goes.

So vote now, and vote often! You can vote once per day for the next 15 days for your podcast of choice.

I do have to admit that it’s kind of nice to have a good list of new podcasts to flip through in various categories. Now that I’ve been using iTunes to manage my ‘casts, I’m listening to more podcasts than ever. I definitely plan to check some of these out.

Maybe in a year we’ll have our own strictly education related podcast awards. I know someone did that for blogging and it turned me on to a lot of new blogs.
