Podcasts are another piece of modern technology I have had ample experience with, separate from the library. From radio stations all over the country I have listened to countless recorded broadcasts made available of interviews with favorite musicians, which I did not have the opportunity to listen to "live," or listened to while it was live and maybe missed hearing part of it. This is a terrific service and I just love it.
As for library application, aside from use in preserving programs, what comes to mind for use is a supplement tool for making information available as we go into our communities seeking their input regarding library services. For example, informational content could be recorded and made available via podcast as well as having the info in written form, to reach a wider audience. This could be used for almost any subject where it is desired to spread the word about library-related matters to as many individuals as possible. Programming that is more focused on an aural rather than a visual presentation could be well-suited for podcast; what immediately comes to mind are author visits that could be made available.
