Podcasts

I had some trouble with this one. The only podcast site I could get into was Podcastally, the other two just would not connect. Then I found searching the site to be difficult, they really need to work on the search engine. Once I did eventually find something to listen to it then took about 5 minutes for it to download.

But other than that I like the idea. Although we need to be careful with the dependability of some podcasters - especially when it comes to politics and the like. Although listening to a debate between two opposing sides of politics would be OK, but listening to just American Republicans would be just plain silly.

As I write this I'm listening to a guy reviewing the novel 'Dune' by Frank Herbert. I think that as a library it would be great to have the public putting up podcast reviews, also recording public speakers that we have in the library as well.
