Podcasts are another way for libraries to publicize their activities to the internet savy. For example, Sara Long, director of the North Suburban Library System in Illinois has a podcast (see Leo's Lair Thing 15, 5/27/08)in which she interviews authors and/or persons of interest to the library world. A library I used work for has a radio station that podcasts interviews with authors. Other libraries use podcast to provide instructions on how to use their resources.
I tried to use the suggested podcast finders, but I found if I asked them to find "public library" podcasts, I got all sorts of libraries, plus public radio. As I am writing this, I am listening to Garrison Keillor giving the news from Lake Wobegon, from a podcast I found. In addition to Lake Wobegon, I am interested in podcasts dealing with libraries, books, baseball, and football, the real kind they play in the UK. I did find a number of podcasts to which I subscribed, but some of these I knew the source of the podcast.
