There are some fairly decent podcasts out there that can provide material for AE sessions (CAP actually should get one going).  If you don't know what a podcast is, you can find out more here:  http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcastsfaq.html
In a nutshell, they are essentially like small radio shows available on the internet for download on your computer.

For the most part, all that is required is a computer with an internet connection (an iPod or MP3 player is not required to listen).  The iTunes software can be downloaded for free.  Given the number of kids with iPods, these should also be promoted amongst the cadets.

The podcasts I subscribe to are as follows:
* Airspeed (discuss various aviation topics, often includes interviews - they currently have a great one on icing)
* AVWeb Podcast (aviation news)
* Aviation News Today (aviation news - go figure  ;) )
* Edwards Air Force Base (news about Edwards)

I'm sure there are other good ones out there as well.  Share what you know.

Hey, this wasn't supposed to turn into an Apple vs. MS debate!  ;D
