Son of Citation Machine
If you listen to podcasts and ever need to cite one, one of the students in my current class found this. citationmachine.net/index.php?source=42#here

It provides you with a form to fill in and when you submit it, you get the citation in APA, MLA, or Chicago style. It says Turabian is in-development. Bookmark worthy!
