Are You Talking to Me?

I've really enjoyed the podcasts I've listened to, but as with everything else in the wide, wide world of the web, there are just too many of them. I find myself weeks behind in listening to the ones that interest me and then just skip them. I've enjoyed All About Books from NET Radio (an NPR station) and the Atlantic Free Press always has something interesting to say, but... Where do I find the time? In theory I like the idea of using my Ipod, but in practice that takes too much time too. So...

For libraries I have thought it useful to have a podcast that walks a patron through a process. Think of museums and the walkmans they give you to listen to as you walk through an exhibition. That would be helpful for larger libraries in a physical sense. But also helpful would be online podcasts to help a patron search for job sites or walk them through setting up a Yahoo email account. Would they solve everything? Probably not, but they could certainly become a tool in our arsenal.
