Week #9 - Podcasts

I listen to a couple of podcasts from the American Heart Association. One was on energy drinks and how they could pose a risk for someone with high blood pressure or heart disease. Since it was not a video involved I listened while I stripped and stamped the periodicals. I also tried Juice and selected the History Channel and chose “This Day in History”

This also had a side bar where it was possible to select a particular day & choose a category. These podcasts had a video and I really found them to be interesting.

Can libraries utilize podcasts? Maybe, as a teaching guide on Library of Congress call letters or government documents, but I still think people like to talk with someone face to face so they can ask questions or get some feedback. Another thought, do interviews with different faculty/staff on what are you reading now, or favorite memories of using a library growing up, etc. This might be interesting to have a short interview every 3-4 weeks.
