Podcasts

I glanced at a couple of the library podcast sites and I noticed that podcasts are used for storytelling, lectures, interviews, updates, etc. Podcasts are another means of providing information and are especially convenient when live program attendance is not possible. Unlike audio tapes or CDs, podcasts are downloaded from a server - one less physical item to be handled and carried around. At Mayo, the availability of grand rounds and other presentations on podcast would be a nice option in addition to video and webcasts as many people can listen and learn while multitasking (driving, exercising, eating, etc.).
