#21 Podcasts, Smodcasts!

As an iPod owner (& have for a number of years) I am quite familiar with podcasts. I have been accessing Pottercast since its' inception - had to do something to satisfy my Harry Potter obsession.

Having difficulties with this "thing". Can't access any of the podcasts on a work PC -
they don't have the correct plugins! So will have to do this one at home.

I have had a look at the three suggested podcast sites - Podcast.net, Podcastalley.com & Yahoo Podcasts. Yahoo & podcast.net were my favourite in that I felt that they were the easiest to use. Podcastalley.com wanted you to subscribe which I could do, but am getting weary of subscribing to so many things that I will probably never use again.

Podcasts like youtube could be a really benefical in an instructional way in libraries. We could listen & watch a pre-recorded training session at staff/branch convenience rather than at a set time & place.
