#6 Podcasts

I've never podcasted.

There, I've admitted it. I have an Ipod, which is the greatest thing ever invented for public transport users. I've never actually put a podcast onto it.

I went to http://www.podcast.com and searched their podcasts. I downloaded the weekly news from Archaeology Channel - Audio News from Archaeologica. I played it on my computer, and then I put it on my Ipod using Itunes.

I think podcasts could be very useful for talks and other events held at libraries. Not everyone can attend a talk, but given today's technology, most people could download someone's speech and listen to it. I can also see podcasts and vodcasts (those with video) being good for giving instructions.
