Podcasting

I have had no experience listening to podcasts, so this was new for me. I have never created a podcast, and I doubt I ever will!

I listened to two library podcasts. One was from ASU's Library channel news. It was very boring to me because they just talked about the spring break calendar. Then I tried Book Talks Quick and Simple and really liked it. I listened Nancy King describe two books, Heartbeat for Horses, and Attack of the Turtle. I think podcasts like this would be a great tool for Sno-Isle. My favorite podcast was from the Learn Outloud Directory. I chose Arts and Entertainment and then chose to listen to John Lennon's interview with Rolling Stone Magazine. It was very intersting. I added it to my Google Reader, which wasn't easy. I might go back to the Arts and Entertainment and look for some more podcasts when I have more time.

  1. Hi Linda and Lulu,. Just finshed reading your blog. It's great. I really haven't done much since last week when we talked, but I have been in reading everyone's blogs, and I feel like I can communicate with you guys so that's a good thing. Now i just need to chart my progress. Thanks Linda and Lulu.

  2. Walter has done some podcasting @MTL w/children's stories. I listen to recorded books a lot, so like to hear these too, but the subject matter needs to be interesting. Spring break calendar - not so much.

  3. Hi, Linda & Lulu!
    I know of a podcast series that I think you two might like. You can find one technique called 'Double Knitting' that I'd love to be able to do at: www.knittinghelp.com/videos/advanced-techniques

    She demos this in the Continental (AKA European pick) method of knitting.

    I saw an afgan made up of about 144 different patterns of these 'squares' in blue and white yarns. It was gorgeous!
