March of the Podcasts

Podcasting continues to get more and more interesting. I’m still not convinced librarians have time to create podcasts, but I’m more enthusiastic than ever about librarians (and everyone else) consuming them and helping others create them (that whole “filling in the participation gap” thing), especially for local content.

  • Audible – (sorry I can’t link you to the exact page, but their frustrating site prevents it)
    “You can receive all of your audio magazines, newspapers, and radio programs as podcasts. If you choose this delivery method, all of your subscriptions will be delivered via My Audible Podcasts. Of course, you will still be able to retrieve your audio subscriptions via direct download from audible.com or by using AudibleManager, should you ever need or want to retrieve them in that way.”
  • Listen365
    “A weekly podcast spotlighting the best indie record labels on the scene. Download each show or subscribe to the weekly feed for loads of great new indie music, band interviews, and more! Brought to you by McDonald's and hosted by BAGeL Radio's Ted Leibowitz.”
  • iTunes with Podcasting
    “Now you can easily find and subscribe to free podcasts from one of the largest directories on the web — the iTunes Podcast Directory. Featuring over 3,000 free podcasts from favorites such as ABC News, Adam Curry, ESPN, KCRW and more, the Podcast Directory puts all the best podcasts in one place. Once you subscribe to a podcast, iTunes automatically checks for updates and downloads new episodes to your computer. When you sync your iPod, all your podcasts come along for the ride. You get on-demand radio, delivered automatically. All from the world’s best digital jukebox.”
