Thing #21

Exploring podcasts under the "Discovery Resources" was extremely frustrating, as many of the links in the podcast directories were dead. Podcastalley.com was the only directory that worked, but many of these podcasts, under the subjects I looked for, were outdated. A Google search for "Library podcasts" brought up a great podcast for the Free Library of Philadephia: http://libwww.library.phila.gov/podcast/. This is a podcast of their author events, up-to-date and also with an archive. What a terrific idea--a library can certainly expand their audience by this method. Should MCPL try this?
