In 2005, "podcast" was named the "word of the year" by New Oxford American Dictionary and with the growth of podcasting over the last 24 months, it's easy to see why. Podcasts take many forms, from short 1-10 minute commentaries (like the ones used in this Learning 2.0 program) to much longer in person interviews or panel group discussions. There’s a podcast out there for just about every interest area and the best part about this technology is that you don’t have to have an iPod or an MP3 player to access them.
I did give a look over at http://podcasts.yahoo.com/start Yahoo has a nice tutorial for an overview of podcasts. I then listened to part of one on weight loss and health.. then tried a comedy one which would not download for me to listen. Searched for librarians and came up with book reviews by Nancy Pearl. 85 episodes. Nancy Pearl is a librarian with a love of books so strong it has been officially classified as lust. No matter the mood, moment or reason, she can recommend the perfect literary companion.
