Podcasts

What can youth services do with podcasts? Record storytimes, programs, how-to videos, or we could turn teens loose and give them a platform....will people watch and/or listen? I don't know. It seems as though a video or audio ought not to exceed five minutes and it should keep moving. Video production values need to consider the small size of the screen most people will be using. Will require staff time and production expertise for usable library podcasts but only needs to be a forum if the community is doing the podcasts and the library is "just" the host. I'm not completely convinced about this yet unless it gets easier and downloads don't take forever. As with many 2.0 innovations---more bandwidth needed.
