PodPeople

I subscribed to Library Lofts podcasts from the Public Library of Charlotte-Mecklenburg, and Prime Speaks from Manchester Public, and NPR Books on my BlogLines account. Prime Speaks are teen booktalks, while library Loft includes interviews from authors, etc.

I have no experience creating podcasts, but I have regularly listened to "Wait..Wait...don't tell me" podcasts.

I like the various book review podcasts and the opportunity to include Teen Advisory Groups in the production. I would be curious as to how often they are listened to. I went to a couple of sites where the podcasts weren't working or hadn't been updated in a while - which discourages subscribing. I think they are great for speeches and lectures, I think they may be of less value in promoting programs (just another commercial).
