I watched the Podgrunt video and I appreciated the simple explanation of what a podcast is: an audio- or videofile delivered to your computer. You need a podcatcher which can be the I-tunes program on your computer. Easy peasy! You don't absolutely need an I-pod but I'm happy to say I am convinced one is in my near future!
I tried to access all the podcast directories listed but could not get into Podcast.net or Podcastalley.com. I do plan to go back and access these sites when I am not blocked. I looked at Educational Podcast Directory and at first wasn't sure what would work with libraries. I found that Information Skills or English Language Arts had some possibilities. In looking at the English-related podcasts, I added YA! Cast to my Google Reader. It's a series of book talks for Young Adult literature and it looks like something I can really use. One of my main goals is to learn more and more about YA literature and I hope I can find other podcasts on this subject.
I looked at Yahoo podcasts but I wasn't very impressed. At least, I didn't find videos I think I could use as a librarian. When I searched for "library" videos, I got some results I was afraid to open! There are some weird people out there!

- I taught biology for many contented years. The 3 years I've been in the library have been my happiest years in education.

Seconds on the "weird people out there." I was shocked and dismayed by some of the most popular podcasts. It seemed like the useless/useful ratio was about 90/1!
