argh podcasts

I don't really like podcasts. Never have. They're useful if you're one of those people who records class lectures instead of (or in addition to) taking notes, which I'm not. I don't particularly enjoy radio or television talk shows, either, and podcasts are along the same vein. I'd much rather just read a written article. I can understand how they might be helpful to others, though.
The Fontana Learning links for finding podcasts are simple to use; I liked the setup of podcastalley the most. It was very easy to both search and browse through a multitude of all sorts of podcasts, including book reviews geared toward children and other specific audiences. A library might use a podcast to advertise programs and events or host a session on patrons' book reviews; it would be another way to get library information to the community with minimal cost and in an easily accessible venue. I even found a podcast that takes you through Bill Clinton's Presidential Library, complete with interview and discussion on his chosen works!
