Podcasts

I had a little bit of a problem figuring this "thing" out :( I thought that digg.com was by far the easiest podcast directory to use. It was the only one that let me listen to podcasts. (wait- I will amend that, I hear talking coming from my head phones. I must have figured out Podcast alley!) Podcast alley isn't very clear. I kept clicking on "Get Podcast" and it would tell me that I needed a Podcast aggregator. I have no idea what that is and I was getting aggravated with the aggregator. Finally I clicked on details and there was a button that said "Download Podcast". Of course that worked perfectly. It just took me forever! I will say one good thing about Podcast Alley- the feed was very easy to locate and it was accurate. Digg.com and Podcast.net were not so apparent and bloglines said it could locate no such feed. I was probably looking at the wrong thing. I never did figure out Podcast.net. It told me that it was downloading the podcast, but I never heard anything. Oh well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad! I've been babbling on enough about the process, instead of tellin y'all what I found. I found a very interesting series of podcast called "Uncontrolled Vocabulary" about various library issues. There was also a podcast called "Library News". Sometimes it feels like I don't have enough time to read the professional literature, but i think that it could be really useful to listen to these podcasts while I am doing other tasks/activities.
