Podcasts

I really enjoy listening to podcasts. I've used podcast alley before, but I actually prefer using itunes to find and download podcasts. For this assignment, I listened to "Booktalks--Quick and Simple". I thought they were nice, short introductions to a book. I think libraries can use podcasts to publish story times, to use as an audioblog to talk about upcoming programs, or as a way to introduce new material to the public. However, I think it's very important that they be updated very regularly. I know that I, personally, will stop listening and lose interest in podcasts that don't have new episodes every week or so.

My interest in Harry Potter is how I first got into podcasts. I was a regular listener to both Pottercast and Mugglecast until the book came out last summer. And now, even though I still download the episodes every week, I don't have as much time to listen to them. Maybe I'll start up again when the movie comes out!
