Karen and I were talking about this today…

I must confess that at this point I am still an iPod novice user. I subscribe to a number of podcasts through iTunes and sync my cute little Nano weekly. Most of my subscriptions are for public radio programs, my current favorite being Selected Shorts. I’m just realizing that there is a whole new world out there with so much stuff that I can download. When collegian son comes home next week for the summer, I am going to have to ask him to show me how to download things into that amazing little toy without going through iTunes.
Even a quick search on iTunes leads one to much interesting library programming. Anyone out there subscribe to the MedlinePlus: NLM Director’s Comments? This week’s program features “Marijuana and Gum Disease.” I’m going to try the the University of Arizona SIRLS podcasts and Arizona State University’s Library Channel. Any other suggestions?
Are any of your libraries providing podcasts online?
