Libraries and Podcasts

I chose to listen to some podcasts by Los Angeles Public Library. They podcast performances, book discussions, lectures, etc. from their Cental Library. I listened to "An Evening with poet Robert Hass". Actually had it playing softly while I was on the reference desk--very nice. Would be very nice to share this with customers! Yes, I think libraries could use podcasts to promote programs and offer programs to those who are unable to leave their homes to attend a library program. Lots of possibilities. Podcasts would be a great way to promote SRC/childrens/teen programs. My 7 year-old daughter loves a show on the Disney Channel called "iCarly". The whole show is about a teenage girl who podcasts her own show each week--how cool is that?
