#21 (Week 9) Podcasts

I watched "Podcasting in Plain English" on YouTube. Podcasting could be used by our librarians as a promotional tool for new releases and upcoming events at our libraries. Librarians can also use book review podcasts to help them keep up with all the latest releases to pass on to patrons.



Podiobooks.com is a website where you can download serialised audio books for free. Their FAQ page states that podiobooks is a website where authors can get exposure to their work, users of the website can also donate money to these authors.


I found it a bit difficult to search for some podcasts that interested me, by using the podcast directories recommended by the Web 2 programme, so I decided to google some podcasts. I found the Comics Podcast Network a site that has all sorts of podcasts relating to graphic novels.



I then explored Podcast Alley a bit more and came up with some better results by typing in "book reviews" and "libraries" into their search box. When your search results come up you can then click onto the podcast title and see a synopsis of the show to get a better idea of whether it interests you or not before you download it.
