Before next summer, dozens of libraries, large and small, academic and public, will likely offer their own podcasts.<\/p>\n<p>Although the technology (and term) is only a few months old, podcasting is beginning to create a buzz in the online world. Unlike the content offered through commercial subscription services such as Audible, podcasting allows any organization to seamlessly &#8220;push&#8221; audio content to anyone interested in listening, including library patrons. Podcasting has been described as Tivo for web-based radio. Plug an iPod or other MP3 player into a computer running free software available from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ipodder.sourceforge.net\/index.php\">iPodder<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ipodderx.com\/\">iPodderX<\/a>. If you&#8217;re online and have subscribed to a podcast feed (just like an RSS feed) through one of those applications, audio content will be downloaded to your MP3 player automatically. Unplug the iPod from the computer and have a listen. Imagine listening to the latest NPR programming or independent radio on your commute to work, or better yet the latest digest from the Libraries&#8217; blog. The potential uses are endless.<\/p>\n<p>For a directory on podcasts, see\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipodder.org\/\">iPodder.org<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.podcastalley.com\/\">Podcast Alley<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;David Murray<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Podcasting is a variation on\u00a0RSS (Real Simple Syndication)\u00a0wherein the RSS feeds contain automatically downloadable sound files.
