Looking at the Podcast directories its quickly apparent that they are by far most heavily used with 'entertainment' related topics. So why fight it, I quicly zeroed in on the webs #1 Doctor Who podcast 'Podshock' at http://www.gallifreyanembassy.org/podshock/podshockmp3.xml and then promptly added it to my feeds.
No much more I can say about it really. As for its applicability to Libraries. It could be used to promote our auditory facilities ie music., audiobooks, but I suspect we would run into copyright issues there. Maybe with inhouse reviews using sample portions would be a way around it.
We have also had a couple of enterprising kids run their own web based radio station from the library called Rumble radio, and I suspect that it would be here that Podcasts would be best used by libraries in conjuction with other outside special interest groups to put themselves out there as it were in a mutually beneficial symbiotic podcast
