Podcasting

I went to Arizona State http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheLibraryChannel and
Washington State Libraries http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/rssapp/rssfeed.aspx?feedid=11
to check out the podcasting features. The lectures available are pretty slick...

Which reminds me, MIT has made their curriculum available online now for free. That's 1800 course available to the average Joe. Audio and video available through the link below. Of course the audio is mp3

I can see the benefits that are available through college and even to a degree in high school. I believe that Sno-Isle is already working on interviews with WWII veterans as well as recorded some book recommendations in the past. There are currently children's stories on the website available for playback as well.

Our eAudio site is working beautifully toward this end. It has a crossover effect meaning, the folks that want to or only have the ability to listen on the computer can, the folks that want to be able to burn to CD can, and the folks that want to transfer everything to an mp3 player (me) can.


So I have added the MIT RSS to my Google reader and have a radio online subscription that I have had for years that I have been very happy with. I can either download the next day manually (which is my choice) or I can use a podcatcher which I do not use anymore. I can get very selective if I do it manually.
