Podcasts

I love podcasts, so for me the discovery process for exploring podcasts seemed more like fun and not work. Which must be why it took me way too long to post about them!

I have a new ipod nano, which has a tiny video screen with color. So I've gotten really into the video podcasts available (and they are too numerous to list here). These are especially wonderful when stuck in an airport. I downloaded a some vintage hollywood movies from the itunes store (and for free; just select Podcasts, then select TV & Film) and watched them in the airport on my layover and on the plane.

Libraries are using podcasts in all ways imaginable. I think our library might library use podcasts to provide information about the library and library services. And if video was used, for library tours and instruction.
