#21 podcasting

My first thought as I watched the low-tech explanation of podcasting was "what would I want to waste my time doing that?" His explanation about listening to a couple in Japan talk about their favorite sushi was not exactly something that would draw crowds!!

But as I looked through the directory, I found lots of neat stuff....interviews with authors, book reviews, music and musicians being interviewed.

I also remembered that NPR always mentions podcasts and that would be a useful tool....many times I've hated to leave the car because I was missing part of an interview or story, but if I subscribed to the podcasts, I could catch up on them later. Of course, I can see that subscribing to podcasts might be like trying to watch all those tv shows that I've recorded, but never watched...

As for library applications, I think we could use podcasting to share the book reviews from books sandwiched in, and possibly the authors who come and speak at the library could also be podcasted, with their permission, of course.
