Thing 21: Pod People

I checked out Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo's film reviews on BBC Radio's 5 Live Web site. Film reviews are something I rely heavily on in my work because I am the DVD selector for my library. I have to say, I wasn't too into it. That's been my reaction to just about every podcast I've ever listened to. The good news is it's not them, it's me. I definitely think podcasts have many uses that are applicable to the day-to-day operations of libraries, I just am the type of user that prefers written information. I don't like to watch television news broadcasts and I generally don't like talk radio and the exceptions to these rules almost always involve sports broadcasting.
