podcasts

Well this was a frustrating topic for me as our IT has restricted many forms of podcasts. I have been able to view a few so can work around these.
Stories on pod casts form Denver Library seems a really good idea for grandmothers baby sitting. Just put child in front of screen ( make sure it is a large flat screen) and go!!
There are a lot of subjects out there with podcasts. ABC would be good for all those radio national fans to get a repeat of what they have heard or catch up with something they have missed. Good for the man on the land for all the rural sessions.
Its interesting that some are just for listening and some for viewing. Red Symonds commentary is good (if you like his brand of humour).
In a library situation you could use it for an education tool - find a podcast that shows seniors how to use podcasts from one the education sites perhaps.
I googled "gardening podcasts" and came up with a lot of sites - amazing what is out there if you have the time to search.
Sorry I would rather be in my garden!!
