Thing #21 Podcasts


I checked out several podcasting directories including Podcast.net, Podcastalley.com as well as Yahoo Podcasts but the one I liked using best is iTunes, particularly as I use an Apple Mac computer which includes this software.

iTunes allows for searching by title, author, description, category or even language. The results set offers some brief description about each podcast, and I elected to subscribe to 'Bookcast' after searching for podcasts covering books.



Interestingly, an earlier podcast episode from the Bookcast was about the 2007 American Library Association (ALA)conference, which attracted over 21,000 librarians to Washington, DC for the annual conference. My previous blog post included a YouTube video from this same conference, and it is a somewhat synchronistic event to find this podcast, particularly as I was using different search terms in each situation.
