21 Podcasts

We have had a look around both Podcastalley and Podcast.net and can see that there is a lot of interesting material out there waiting to be listened to. We had added a Rick Steve's travel podcast to our Bloglines earlier when learning about RSS feeds but have now added a podcast called Talking with Tallis : Listen to conversations with thought-leaders spanning Web 2.0, Libraries, and the Semantic Web - should make riveting listening! Checked out some Book Review podcasts and even heard Nancy Pearl delivering her weekly book review - libraries could certainly make links to these sorts of podcasts available to their users. Also, there is great potential for libraries to make podcasts of their in-house programs e.g. Storytimes, Book talks, Author talks etc. and thus reach a far wider audience than those who physically attend.

If you're interested in travel podcasts you could check out our efforts at the Indie Travel Podcast which aims for a more independent audience than Mr Steves.

For pure podcast joy, I'd recommend iTunes over bloglines, simply because iTunes only downloads the audio content.

I'd be interested to see a list of your 21...
