Week 8--not an easy lesson. I can see how podcasts would be beneficial in helping libraries get out info about programs, library events, and even tutorials about the use of online databases. With so many people now accessing the web through pda's, iphones, and smartphones, libraries would be really out of the loop not to take advantage of this type of publicity.
The amount and type of information available through podcasting was amazing. Any topic or thought can be produced for podcasting. I am always amazed that some people want to share the most finite details of their thoughts and actions.
For myself, I choose a news podcast because it's something I can relate to. Always want to know whats happening in the world.
