Tools for Locating Podcasts (Thing #21)




I discovered several interesting podcasts on Podcast.net that would be useful in a library setting. "Book Voyages" is a podcast about children's literature from the point of view of a school media specialist. It features book reviews as well as interviews with students and authors. "Library Channel" is a weekly podcast that discusses trends in research libraries. The Sunnydale Public Library has a podcast where users can watch, download and comment on library programs. From Podcastalley.com I found a live tennis podcast which I added to the feeds in my Bloglines account.From a personal standpoint, I really liked the daily newscasts that you can subscribe to. The ones I looked at were highlights from the NBC Today Show, the "What's in the News" podcast which is a wrap-up of the day's news and headlines from CBS, and the daily podcast of ABC World News.
