Podcasts??

I browsed some podcast indexing websites and was overwhelmed! I was flustered as to what topic I would want to listen about. I tried to see if a soap opera, Guiding Light, was still doing podcasts (in a way a perverse return to their radio hey-day), but all the dates where from 2006. Perhaps they have moved to the streaming video episodes . . . (my home computer and its internet connection are too ancient for such technology!!!).

My husband suggested going to websites of things I like. For example, the Phoenix Suns website has a link to their podcasts. I was amazed how easy it was to add that to my bloglines account. It was really neat since you can get podcasts of radio interviews that you might not be able to listen to live.

I did find the Library Channel from Arizona State University. This is a neat resource of podcasts from all facets of the many libraries in the vast University Libraries system. I have learned about Arizona history, travel, new resources, new librarians, etc. Keep those podcasts coming!

Our library system could benefit from podcasts if we were visited by an author and we could conduct an interview with them about their books. I guess those individuals who do the special programs at the library could also have their presentation be in podcast form. Such podcast-abilities are endless!
