Experiments in Podcasting

Sadly, the very first Podcast directory listed went to a dead link. This is not looking like a promising start because the Yahoo one didn't seem to work either. But I will plod/pod on! Get it? Oh, dear, yet another late night post from Digger Chic.

I used PodcastAlley in the end and it was very easy to search for podcasts based on subject area or keyword. The only worrying thing was a keyword search for "library" also managed to come up with a podcast called "Erotic Xpressions from The Lusty Library: Gay Cocktales"!!! I didn't want to know, so I went with "Library Geeks" instead - "Welcome to Library Geeks, where librarians, geeks, and geek librarians geek out about libraries". I clicked on "Get Podcast" and discovered I needed software! Ok. Try again. I clicked on "Details" and then it gave me the option to listen to it and opened a little player. It's basically just like talkback radio! But one you can listen to at any time.
