Whether it's by choice or circumstance, more people are working in non-traditional work situations requiring that they be able to work from anywhere. Many Trailing Spouses find themselves in this situation. I've had a great deal of interest in this subject since becoming a Trailing Spouse in 2001 and living and working in 5 countries over the last 9 years. It's one thing to be a mobile worker and travel for days or weeks at a time, this requires discipline, skills and the use of various technologies, but to simultaneously pick up your whole life along with your work environment and move it to another country every couple of years takes another level of life / work / technology integration. One aspect of technology that I've embraced as part of this mobile work and portable career lifestyle is the use of spoken word audio to learn, inform and entertain while I do other things. An organization that has done a great deal over recent years to promote and share spoken word content is SpokenWord.org - This non-profit organization helps identify and locate spoken word content to make it easy to find programs of interest. I've recently been selected as a Curator of content for 'Portable Careers and Working from Anywhere' - Feel free to visit this collection at: http://www.spokenword.org/playlist/4884 .

The site has an inbuilt player so you can listen to programs on the web or click the feed buttons to subscribe via iTunes or your portable player of choice. Similarly, if you know of any programs that could be included in this list please let me know by commenting below.
