#21 Podcasts and podcast search tools

Okay, it is something of a bummer that Yahoo is closing down their Podcast site.

I like the listings they have here and I like seeing what is "most popular". There are lots of podcasts out there. Radio has definitely figured out that podcasts are a great way to get their stories out there. And then there are all the other interesting subject podcasts -

For the library, I can see all sorts of fun applications. You can have podcasts on how to research a particular subject that you could set up as a loop on a computer - imagine a podcast on how to find information on a CA Mission during the Mission assignment rush! You could do mini audio trainings on the catalog, the Internet, particular programs, etc.

Next we just need to do little Webcasts - with both sound and pictures. :-)
