Podcasting - #21

Podcasts = Verbal Blog

I like the podcasts from NPR. The flexibility in listening to only the shows I wish to listen to when I have time to listen is fantastic. The biggest drawback from my pov is that my car isn't set up for portable music players. Which means I can really only listen on my computer.

While I can see some uses (and fun) for individuals I'm afraid I don't see much application within libraries. While I did find some book review podcasts and other literature-related podcasts, I'd much prefer to read my reviews. (They could be useful for schools or universities. The teacher could create podcasts for supplemental lectures. Or students could create podcasts to supplement their papers.)
