Podcasting...this is the topic of Lunge Number 4 and I have subscribed to two podcasts on my Blog as well as on Google Reader. the Science Show and Radio National Breakfast Show (maybe I will learn about world affairs, arts and science?)
I have actually been a part of a podcast, lending my voice to one that the Library did a couple of years ago. I am however, still waiting for my Oscar.
Okay back to being serious, as part of the homework we have been asked to discuss the possibilities of using Podcasting to promote the library and I think this is actually a very good way of alerting library users to what the library can offer them at a time appropriate to the listener. The potential user can be sitting at their computer at home and whilst surfing the web can also be listening to a podcast about the library. Perhaps they missed the Library tour, no problems, they can have an audio session which will then enhance their next trip into the library. The library can also use podcasts to alert users to new databases, opening hours, new titles etc, in fact we could go on all day, but I won't.

Are you signing up to do another library podcast? :-)
Not that I am aware of, not sure if first attempt was a huge success.
