It seems the revolution will be podcasted....With the commencement of Lent, the world and his wife appears to be podcasting. If you check out iTunes you can put "mass" into the podcast search option and everyone from Home to Catholic Communities in Michigan have their versions up there (if you have other MP3 players, you can go to their websites and just download stuff there).
However, whilst the Jesuits one has set the standard and continues to be my favourite, I have found some others of note.
the-mass.com have a podcast that is worth a listen, but also for those of you with video iPods, theshore.tv have a video podcast that is interesting.
My only reservation about this is that theshore's is released every Sunday for Lent. The point of an iPod is that you can listen to stuff on the go. You don't really use an iPod on Sunday, as you're not generally working or going anywhere on Sundays, whereas podcasts can be a great for of meditation when you're on the way to work, etc.
Just to clear up, though - you don't actually need an iPod or iTunes to listen to these. Most of these you can listen to through you computer or any generic MP3 player. In fact I can thoroughly recommend these podcasts as a place to start if you're trying to reconnect with spirituality this season and wondering where to start.
