Managed to get some time at work to explore podcasts, as explained in 22 I have dial up at home! I followed the instructions with care but the tutorial would not appear. Gave it up and tried exploring iTunes . I found some music I liked but was scared off by notions of my credit card being attacked if I entered the wrong info.Still it was fun to listen to Apres un Reve and Dolly's garden (would you guess Faure?) and the fractals which appeared as mini videos were dazzling. Decided to look at other sites and had better success on Yahoo's site. Spent some time there but kept being frustrated by my lack of knowledge- I needed the tutorial. Clicked it on again , waited and waited for it to open, then I had to attend elsewhere and on my return it was there -telling me all! Learnt a lesson from that, our equipment is limited by the island's uptake; it had been running at 31 which is even slower than my dialup at home.
Another day I tried Podcast Alley and think I will use the site again as thanks to Willow and the appearance of a search field I could experiment in other areas. I tried "arts" and was impressed with the quick selection and the fact that a click would summarise a site in a few words. Had a play and found all sorts of great possibilities! Put two onto my bloglines and think Time Traveler podcast could be of interest to library users who like short stories and science fiction (new story each week)and then went on to put "Writing" in the search field and found a University of Ohio podcast which discusses writing, so happily "rssed" it onto my bloglines!
