Podcastalley was a pain in the arse, with Podcast.com a close second. I prefer itunes - it's much easier to navigate, intuitive to use and MUCH easier to figure out how to listen to something before subscribing. I did find an interesting podcast called The Naked Scientist that I subscribed to. It's all about recent finds in the world of science. Did you know there's been a vaccination for MRSA developed? Or that bees can count? How cool is that? It would make a good companion to e review publication The Scout Report. There are a lot of ways we could use podcasts to extend our services, like many other libraries already are doing. Storytime anyone? I really like being able to listen to interviews, or whatever, on my own time. And it's amazing what's out there.
Later...OK, revisited the podcast thing and this time found some great book feeds that I subscribed to, including one out of Canada that is all children's book author interviews. Now the problem is only going to be how to keep up with it all!
