Thing #21, Podcasts

Libraries are using Podcasts creatively to reach children, teens and adults. I subscribed to a Podcast aimed at Book groups called Bookbuffet.com Podcasts that broadcasts author interviews. I also found Podcasts that concentrated on horror literature, creative nonfiction and popular fiction. Podcasts of booktalks by authors and author interviews can be used in book discussion group meetings.

The Podcast searching sites had varying options available to the user. Podcast.net had keyword searching making it easy to navigate. I plan to routinely check for Podcasts to feature at Booktalk Central meetings.
