Thing #21: Podcasts

I don't have a lot of experience with podcasts, so this was interesting. I have a friend who produces podcasts, and my library had a podcast created for the teen Battle of the Bands.

Podcasts would be so useful to libraries to explain how to use library services (like the catalog, placing holds, using the microfilm machine, etc). It would be neat to podcast programs to show what happened to those who couldn't attend or to show how a certain thing is done for a teaching program.

At Podcast Alley there were a lot of neat how-to podcasts. How to remove DRM, how to burn a DVD...and they showed you how to do it, which is a bonus for a lot of people.
