Thing 19 Podcasts

I've been an occasional listener to podcasts from MPR and from Nancy Pearl. Checking the MPR site, I noticed a variety of podcasts on political topics, including one on creating a Fantasy Legislature, a most intriguing idea.

The On the Road with MINITEX podcasts were a real treat. The interviews with wonderful librarians like Tom Shaugnessy, Beth Kelly, and Sue Colten were well worth the time. Wise librarians all, they had fascinating and thought-provoking things to say about their careers and the library field.

I explored the Education Podcast Network where I checked podcasts listed under 'Information Skills.' What an odd group, ranging from Stephen Abram talking about roving reference, to a basic introduction to Survey Monkey, and a long list of best baby names. A very mixed bag indeed.
