Podcasts - Thing 21

Podcasts are an audio program distributed via the Internet, through RSS. Length can be from 10 minutes to an hour. Shorter of course. It is important to consider the audience. Boredom should not occur from listening to a podcast! Most of the sites listed in "Thing 21" are no longer active. No problem, I'm getting used to that. I thought the most helpful information was found in "Beginner's guide to podcast and podcasting." We have considered doing podcasts with our teen group, and then dropped the idea as we became increasingly short staffed. After listening to several book podcasts, I'm thinking that's okay, that going the YouTube direction might be more interesting especially for teens.

Directories - www.podcast.net, www.podcastalley.com and www.podcastdirectory.com. All were good directories, but I found that just going on google, putting in libraries got some good results.
