Week 9 - Podcasts and Audio

I agree with comments made by Jalen on 29 March, that podcasts could be used for "teen webcasts, storytime, book reviews, poetry readings, author talks, lectures on specific topics, oral interviews and library newscasts." For me, I especially like the idea of hearing poetry rather than reading it as I get more meaning from it when I hear it read with the correct expression. On the ABC website I listened to the podcast of a Lingua Franca show, which I always miss. My library has a large clientel who have difficulty reading and listen to audio books. I see podcasts as being of interest to them.
