I wasn't successful searching for podcasts using Podcast.net or Podcastalley.com as I was directed to install additional plug-ins. I decided to try Yahoo Podcasts instead and had no trouble listening to the podcasts available.
I found a few interesting podcasts when I searched for children's book reviews: BookVoyages and Booktalks Quick and Simple. BookVoyages is a podcast about children's literature from the point of view of a school library/media specialist. It features reviews of books as well as inteviews with students and authors. I listened to an interesting interview with children's author, Bruce Coville. In Booktalks Quick and Simple, you can listen to booktalks by one of the experts, Nancy Keane. I added this podcast, as well as, NPR Books and NPR:Story of the Day to my blogline's account at http://www.bloglines.com/myblogs. What a quick and easy way to stay in touch with topics of personal or professional interest.
Podcasts could be used in the public library in various ways: staff training, staff booktalks, etc.
