I've heard a lot about podcasting but never had the time to explore them, particularly as I don't have an mp3 player. I can see lots of useful applications for podcasting in the library environment - particularly public libraries where you could have podcasts of film reviews, book reviews, cooking shows, etc. They would be most useful on an mp3 player as you could listen to them whilst driving, sitting in the train, or even whilst preparing the dinner!
I added a few podcasts to my Google Reader - some film reviews and some walking tours of Melbourne from the ABC. The film reviews worked fine, but I could not get the walking tours to play. I 'googled' for some podcasts of book reviews and selected a couple - one from Curtin University and the other called 'Nancy Pearl book reviews'. Again I could not get the Curtin University podcast to play but had no trouble with the Nancy Pearl podcasts.
