I listened to several podcasts -- or at least the beginning of several!  One thing that I would find useful is knowing how long the entry is.  I can listen to 7 minutes of Library news -- okay so I made through about 4 before I got interrupted!  However, I started listening to some and the introductions took over a minute.

I also kept looking back at the podcast window thinkings I would see a video.  I was not sure what to do with myself while I listened.  I found it I surfed the web for other stuff, I stopped listening.  So I played games!

I think podcasts would be great for giving short news updates. For example, we could post a podcast talking about the closing of the Fall City Library and where they can go to pick up holds.

Arron Schmidt talked about creating downloadable podcasts for self-tours of our libraries.  This would really a good way to emphasize some of the art we have as well as changing sculptures at Kirkland.
