Saving the best for last, Pt. 2: Podcasts

Podcasts are fun! I really didn't understand the whole podcasting thing until our bloglines assignments, and since then, I've signed up for quite a few for both entertainment and informational purposes. "Keith and the Girl" is probably my favorite all around entertainment podcast because they are pretty much hilarious (offensive, but hilarious).

This time around I visited podcast.net and strolled down podcastalley in search of podcasts featuring children's literature book reviews. I am amazed that there are so many! Now I did have to sift through the search results and try different terms because I got a LOT of things that had no relevance or relation to children's literature, but I really enjoyed "Book Voyages" and "Book Bites for Kids" and will be returning to those podcasts for more great reccomendations.

The hardest apect of accessing this technology is finding the podcasts that I want to listen to. The sheer amount of topics covered and and podcasts available on each topic is quite overwhelming. By far, my favorite aspect of podcasting is the convenience allowed by RSS technology. Not only can I locate all of my favorite podcasts in one place, I don't have to worry about missing one because they are always updated.
