#XXI. Tools for Locating Podcasts

I used all 3 of the podcast directories. Yahoo was the successful one for me and very easy to use. I am sure the others are too. The other two didn't work due to the lack of hardware/software (?).
I picked an NPR radio program*, to go along with my "past to the future" theme on my blog.

I sort of had an idea of what a podcast is, but I am glad to have a simple definition readily available to read at the top of the home page to set me at ease.

While searching for a podcast I noticed quite a few educational/how to's which would be helpful at the library. We could also set up our own podcasts to demonstrate how to navigate through a patron's library account, request an ILL book, how to sign up for a computer, search the catalog, and more.
