I've spent a lot of time looking over the tools for loading podcast sites. I've done lots and lots of listening and watching and have mixed opinions on the usefulness of podcasts. Some were interesting, some educational, some entertaining (Dan (ESPN)Patrick's struggle with the ladder gave me a chuckle because it left me thinking "those who can't--Talk??!) and some "this person needs to get a life because this is useless/boring"! The Merlin site did have some interesting library podcasts. After viewing Denver PL's Stories for Kids I can possibly see BCPL adapting their telephone Storyline to a podcast offering, too. I liked the Kankakee PL's Booktalk podcast. I can also see the possiblity down the road of using podcasts for staff training and tutorials.
I didn't find any podcast that I really wanted to focus on, so I subscribed to the NPR podcast on my Bloglines just to go through the process. I must admit that it was really easy to do.
