Podcasts

I am a podcast child and love, love love podcasts.. I learnt to run 5K's by using a podcast in my early 40's. So podcasts can improve you body as well as your mind.
I am an avid user of podcasts and download a lot of Radio National programmes as I am unable to get Radio National reception. (Living in a regional black hole) Anyway the convenience of listening to programmes when I want is a huge bonus. I also download At the Movies, Tuesday Night Book Club and Compass and watch on my 2 inch screen at my leisure. Bucking the trend of oversize Plasmas and LCD's. Oh yes, must mention the wonderful Meditation podcasts available - great for not sleeping at night and managing the stress of running a busy public library.

I think podcasts have great potential for training and informing staff and customers in libraries. I think libraries should be vodcasting programs, reviews and training that is delivered in the libraries. Out out library we are currently restricted by Council policies.... but one day...maybe.
