I've listened to podcasts and admire the fact that our library has done a few, notably for the readings from our April Poetry contests. Although I am not generally a fan of reading poetry, I do really like to hear poets read their own poems.
I think shorter podcasts are generally better, anything that goes over an hour causes me to lose interest and my mind wanders off, no matter how fascinating the topic.
I think libraries could use podcasting to do "commercials" for upcoming events.
They could have little mini-shows highlighting services or answering frequently asked questions.
They could do book reviews.
I'll try the Gcast from the privacy of my own home. Stay tuned.
