I found this exercise to be difficult and somewhat frustrating for me. I looked at the podcast directories listed in the discovery resources: podcast.net, podcastalley.com, and yahoo podcasts. Of the 3, I found podcast alley to be the most user friendly, and was able to use podcast alley to add an RSS feed to my Bloglines account, of inspirational messages from a pastor that I like. I could not seem to readily locate the RSS feeds using the other resources. I also got a lot of error messages, although I finally was able to add a second feed to Bloglines using yahoo podcasts. I listened to a few podcasts, but don't like this format much, most are too long to sit there and listen from your computer. Maybe once I have an MP3 player, it will seem more appealing. I would be able to listen while I do other things. Some of the book review podcasts looked interesting, and I plan to go back and spend more time exploring these.
Still, I can see where podcasts could be useful to YPL patrons, if we could have short podcasts available on our website announcing upcoming events, book reviews,and resources that are available.
