Podcasting in the School Library

I have listened to podcasts before but never created one. One interesting podcast I've listened to before was called Radiolab. It was more of radioshow because it was about 30 min long but it still involved a lot of sound effects and was very educational. After reading these two pieces, I believe it is something that I could enjoy creating because it helps engage the listener in the topic. Podcasts could be useful at Fort Lewis in order to educate students in a variety of ways. They could be used to aid in registration or to promote on campus events.

Podcasts are different from radioshows because they are much shorter, and are only meant to entice the listener to find out more about the topic. Podcasts can be inserted in between radio programs, like the Wheaties advertisements in "Mars is Heaven".
