Podcasts

OMG I loooove podcasts!
I've been using these ever since I got iTunes a few years ago and I can't live without them anymore. I get a bunch of NPR ones, a Firefly/Serenity fancast, and the Cook's Illustrated Video Podcast. I use iTunes b/ I listen to podcasts on my iPod, which only works with iTunes, and b/ it's so easy. Just browse the iTunes store and click on subscribe.
Podcasts would be great for storytimes, book discussions, etc. for those patrons who just can't make it to the library but don't want to miss out on what we have to offer. The library can also create podcasts about the latest books, book reviews, excerpts from books/cds, etc. Things to get people interested in what the library has.
