Podcasting

I do not have much experience listening or viewing podcasts but I am familiar with them.  I'm just a visual person that I would be more likely to watch a video podcast than listen to an audio podcast.

I do know of some libraries who have created podcasts. The Greenwood Public Library for example lets teens record podcasts on whatever topic they are interested.  They have a page titled "Speak Your Mind" and teens can submit stories and poems but they can also email a librarian to set up a recording time for podcasts.  I remember a couple of years ago they actually had a "talk show" of sorts with teens from their Teen Advisory Board talk about and review books.

I googled: Young Adult books podcasts and found this site: http://yalitlovers.oklibshare.org
It is a blog that posts podcasts periodically.  It seems pretty up to date since the last entry was from May 11, 2012.  It was fun to listen to because it was just a bunch of librarians sitting around talking about books. I ended up adding this blog to my google reader so I can listen to new entries.
