If you are interested, I am also podcasting about my investing experience on iTunes! 

Is anyone here familiar with Bryan Ellis and his radio show (podcast) on iTunes?

There are quite a few threads on this, and I'd encourage you to search the archives.

I found BP through iTunes as I listen to the podcast on my way to work.
