It was interesting to check out some of the podcasts available. I would prefer an audio visual podcast to just a straight audio podcast. I noticed a number of radio programs available on podcast. You would no longer have to be in broadcast range to listen to these programs, you could even hear them overseas.
The Ipswich Library has made some use of audio podcasts. The library has been collecting oral histories which were stored on compact discs. Not many of our customers would have been aware of them, unless they had a specific interest. The oral history podcasts are now available on the library's Picture Ipswich database. This promotes their existence to our customers and allows easy access to them. Our customers no longer have to visit the library to listen to the oral histories.
Audio podcasts could also be used to promote our Heritage Trails. People could download the podcast onto MP3 players and listen to the history of the sites as they explore them.
