Library Podcasts

I've talked about my love of podcasts - especially book related ones - in TechBits in the past. In my post from 2015, the book related podcasts all come from the media - NPR and Book Riot - not from libraries. Since then, I've learned about some library podcasts and wanted to share them with you. I know there are more out there and if your library has a podcast, please add it in the comments.

SCLS Libraries:

• McMillan Memorial Library - Conversation Maker Podcast
• Sun Prairie Public Library - The Tallest Building in Town
• Madison Public Library - App Fairy Podcast

Wisconsin Libraries:

• North Shore Library - Book Chat at North Shore Library
• Menasha Public Library - MPL Podcast
• Menomonie Public Library - Ted Talks
• Celebrate Libraries Podcasts - New Ways to Dream (featuring Wisconsin libraries)

Outside Wisconsin:

• Lawrence Public Library - Book Squad
• 5 Minute Librarian - 18 Excellent Podcasts for Librarians

Interested in creating a podcast for your library? Richard Byrne from Free Technology for Teachers shared a tutorial on using Anchor.fm to create a podcast. An article in Library Journal called "The Chatty Librarians: Podcasting" shares two libraries and their experiences launching podcasts. Technology has come a long way in making podcasts easy to create. If you create one, be sure to let us know so we can highlight it.

Happy listening!
