I looked through the one podcast search tool that was available - yahoo podcasts (the others were blocked by web sense) Most of the search terms I put in led to web sites where I could pay to download something. Some of the terms led to news radio stations where I could (and did) copy links into my Google Reader. I now have links to my favorite shows "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" and "Car Talk" that I don't often get to hear on Sat. mornings.
For the most part, tho, these pod casts didn't seem to be of a lot of use, unless one is looking to buy and download music. Music seems to be plentiful and not overly expensive. We could create pod casts to add to our library web page, but I don't think it would be frequently accessed. I do think that the idea of video casts - like the story times we've already videoed - are a great idea and a good reason to pull patrons into exploring our web site.
