Podcasting

So this is cool because (since working everyday with Rand) I've been thinking about going vegetarian. Truthfully, this is something I will never do because you can't beat a good burger, but I'd like to know more about it. On Podcastalley I found a podcast for exactly that! It's called Going Veggie and it's basically an introduction to the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle. I'm all for learning new things.

I was curious about podcasting anyway. I'm always seeing advertisements for fitness podcasts in magazines, but never took the time to check them out. I was under the impression that podcasts were useless without a video iPod. Thank goodness I'm wrong because this is amazing! How many times have you bought a fitness video only to be either bored out of your mind within a week or find out that blonde lady on the cover talks WAY too much. Podcasts provide variety and easy access to all sorts of fitness routines!

Like youtube, but perhaps in a slightly less overwhelming way, podcasts can add a little color to library publications. They also open up a whole new world of reference material that might appeal to the patron that has trouble learning things from black and white print.
