But I listen to it while cycling to work (me,I live on the edge, rock and roll etc)

I rack up the air miles in my job, so as part of my packing ritual I load up on pod and laptop-based entertainment. I find the gentle banter of the Word team is the ideal way to relax over a long journey.

For my most recent flight, I also downloaded quite a few of the documentary clips posted in the recent Word thread. Particular favourites were Ronnie Lane, Ivor Cutler and Bill Brandt.

trains, planes and automobiles

goes well on the daily walk and bus. Mondays and a longish train ride well complemented by some of the Radio 3 pcasts esp the Alyn Shipton Jazz one.

More often than not I'm on the M25 listening to the Word Podcast. I've got to say that the latest episode of the Archers usually gets priority closeley followed by The Word. I've been listening to the back issues which has been a great way to spend my travelling time. Maybe we should have one of those stickers for the back car window.

in the gym. The Word, a magazine, a podcast, a way of shifting pounds.

The volume is always turned up to eleven to get through the thump thump of the house music and noise of the machines causing serious amounts of Ellen Guffawtiasis.

...Waitrose - I find I cruise through a tedious shop chuckling to the Word 'cast. Laughing out loud can be a problem.

Delivering the mail on the mean streets of Hertfordshire. So if you see a Postman with headphones laughing to himself, he's not actually a nutcase.

My commute is only 15 - 20 minutes each way.

The computer is hooked up to the stereo. When there's a new podcast to listen to, I sit down with a nice cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit or two and enjoy the outpourings of the Word team. If it's a Monday I'll listen to Just A Minute afterwards. I might as well have stayed in Blighty, eh?

I listen to the podcast (and other podcats) at home whilst doing any household tasks (washing up, laundry, tidying etc).

I have been known to listen to it whilst washing the car, but this last scenario doesn't occur very often.

... in the abattoir while operating the bolt gun

...by pavement, bus, and train.

My favourite bits include: "are we recording?", Mark Ellen's laugh, David Hepworth's nostalgic take on life and living, Kate Mossman's enthusiasm, and Fraser Lewry's international jaunts. I used to enjoy the background sirens too - it sometimes sounded as if you were all crammed into a portaloo in some inner city High Street!

Sorry!

of my building in La Barceloneta, Barcelona. Always difficult to decide which view to enjoy while listening to Señor Hepworth's musings- the harbour with the mountain of Montjuic behind, or the other side which looks over the Med and up the coast.

If that reads like mild gloating, I should add that "terrace" is a bit of a misnomer. It's really a place where people dump their discarded plants/DIY stuff and hang up washing.

Driving from Dubai to Abu Dhabi on a Sunday morning to start the week.

Travelling to and fro the beautiful North Norfolk coast to take the dog for his walk and doing an hour's birding.
