Musing morning

I actually use podcasts more than I would like, because every time I miss a Rotary Club meeting I make it up by listening to the podcast of that meeting. Really is a lifesaver. I added the RSS for the NPR program "Speaking of Faith" since I only hear parts of the programs when I am in the car and always want to hear all of it. A program this week featured the late Joe Carter discussing and singing African-American spirituals with Krista Tippett. I missed some at the begining and at the end of the broadcast so now I can listen whenever I want. Podcasts as well as UTuube have great potential as training tools for both staff and patrons.

I admit that the RSS feeds are more than I want to deal with on a regular basis, but they can also ensure that I complete a task for pleasure or for an obligation.

I hated podcast pickle, but podcast.com subject lists seem to be both diverse and easily searchable so I am going to add that site to my favorites.
