Podcasts

Well, Podcasts are interesting. I listened to a few minutes of different titles at Booktalks quick and Simple, also MuggleCast, and FreeAudio Book of the Month Club. I like the podcasts available at Learn Out Loud. I think that Sno-Isle and Patrons would be most interested in the Book talks and also the Learn Out Loud. The booktalks had many different categories and I listened to some kids titles which would be a nice way for a parent to preview books. Also, I learned the 3 best kitchen knives from Learn Out Loud complete with video on how to sharpen them. These seem to me to be terrific learning tools and would be very helpful to our Patrons and Sno-Isle to have for them. I personally had only used the Sno-Isle site Podcasts before for some of the children's books. I am much more fond of the video podasts than audio, as I am a visual person and tend to tune out if all I can do is listen to a book. Still, this is yet another thing that I am happy to have had the opportunity to learn about.
