Podcasting - A Whole New World. I Might Visit but I Don't Want to Live There.

I found a couple of podcasts that I listened to, a few about horseback riding and some that were language related. The one that shows the most promise for a library setting is called "ESL Helpdesk," where people who are learning English have access to individual tutorials on many aspects of language learning.

The negative aspect of podcasts is the great variation in quality - both of content and also audio quality. I am trying to learn Spanish and so I listened to a few "Spanish Survival" podcasts; some were excellent and others just plain abysmal.

I did subscribe to the "Libworm: Librarianship" podcasts in my primary Bloglines account.
