I must admit I’ve never really tried to listen to podcasts. CBC Radio has had them for years, but I’ve never used them (even though I have an iPod). Most of the time, there may be one item I might want to listen to that I’ll miss, but I don’t want to download the whole program. Having tried it as part of Thing 22 though, maybe I’ll use it more often. I added “The House” (a CBC Radio politics program) to my Google Reader account – this is a program I like, but I never really get to listen to it.
The directories look useful. I poked around a bit, but couldn’t think of any really good searches to try. I’ll keep it in mind for the future, though.
Plenty of library application possibilities as well, but I think video would probably be better for bibliographic instruction. I see some of the library links provided have podcasts 6 months+ old.
