I cheerfully launched into Task 21 as a fun Sunday afternoon pursuit, thinking this would be a relatively quick and painless exercise.
I tried these popular directories - Podcast, Podcastalley, Yahoo - looking for podcasts.
Even with broadband access, downloads were fraught with difficulty. Quite often nothing loaded, or only partially so. More searching practice with the first two directories I think would assist me find some really useful sites. Yahoo apparently will be discontinuing their service late October, and many of their podcasts are now dated, no longer being updated, etc.
One unusual podcast that I did manage to play has remained in my mind - Garden Trains Radio - because a nice topic like that just has to blend well with a Sunday afternoon! Alas, just as the friendly "gardening" radio voice announced how to subscribe to this series on an ongoing basis, once again the Net happily dropped out on me. I finally saved a feed regarding the Iditarod (as Microsoft feed) which I always find interesting when all else fails.
If someone is out there in cybrary land reading this and can recommend some interesting library podcasts to feed to, I would really appreciate this!
I look forward to some comments ....
