Time Travel (not really)

So when I listen to these radio shows and podcasts on my iPod sometimes they're a little old when I listen to them so the news is a little old too. Sometimes this is disorienting. I'll hear someone mention the Pope is ill or one other news fact and it throws me off a little bit. When I think about getting the news late, it's bothered me a little bit and I'm not sure why?

But I've been catching up on the TiVo and it's the same thing when I see ads for the evening news and it's old too (especially when it's the weather for tomorrow). The odd thing is the TiVo delays don't bother me so much (and I recall the same when I used to use my VCR).

So why do the iPod shows bother me more? One big difference is they get mentioned in the actual show (and not in an ad) Adam Curry will mention the Pope or Leo Laporte will mention it's Easter. I guess maybe that reminds me I'm listening to something old...
