#21 Podcasts, Schmodcasts

Of the 3 podcast directories, I like Yahoo Podcasts the best. It seems to return results that are more familiar and professional - NPR, NOVA, BBC, etc. - known quantities that I don't have to look at to see what they are about - saves time. I added the NPR book reviews podcast to my Bloglines account.

I enjoyed listening to the ASU Library Channel. I would like to know the demographics of who is listening to this podcast. What is the purpose and is it successful?

I thought it would be fun to listen to book reviews so I did a search on Podcast Alley - 200 results came back - too many to look through - I need a podcast review to choose a podcast on book reviews!

On a personal level, the travel and foreign language podcasts, such as ChinesePod: Learn Chinese and Unabellavista: How to Tour Italy, look interesting.
