Two of the three podcast directories for that we were given to try out did not work. I mainly used Google to find podcasts that I liked. I found an interesting one on Greek news that I added as an RSS feed to my Bloglines account.
The main use I can see for podcasts in libraries is the same as books. The library can subscribe/purchase high quality podcasts that may not be affordable by all patrons and they can then view/listen to these podcasts at the library. This will also make podcasts available to people that may not have the equipment to view podcasts at home.

YouTube Grandma Style
I have decided that I like YouTube. Not only can I find videos of old shows that I have seen in the past I can also find instructional videos like the one below of Nigela Lawson cooking up an old-fashioned choc cake.
I am a bit worried that this kind of technology will be the end of books in years to come. Young people will prefer to look up a video to find out how something is done instead of borrowing and reading a book. I can see what I have been asked to participate in the Learning 2.0 program.
