Well the end is here and how sad it is. I have really enjoyed this exploration of Web 2.0 and have learned many new, wonderful, and useful things, and a few things that not useful, but super fun! Thanks for all the hard work Katherine!!!!
Now as for podcast, I am a big fan. I don't get to listen to them as much as I'd like, but that is my fault. I keep forgetting to put some on my ipod. However, I do like to listen to them from my computer. My favorite new one is BackStory http://www.backstoryradio.org/, which features one of our trustees, Ed Ayers. It is a very laid back group of historians who take a current topic and plumb its historical depths. The Thanksgiving one was great. I would encourage everyone to check it out. If podcast are not for you, you can also catch the show on public radio. Also you can add it to your RSS feed. I have added it to my iGoogle page, and it tagged in my Delicious account (see how I am using all the stuff we have learned over the past few weeks!).
I also really enjoy Grammar Girl (http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/), which is a podcast that Katherine introduced me to. It is very short and provides lots of great information about proper grammar. Actually I need to check that one out again, it has been awhile. I need all the help with grammar that I can get!
Podcasts are a wonderful tool and which the VHS should embrace. I think it is wonderful that we have audios of our lectures and it would be great to add all those gallery tours too. Perhaps we could even add podcasts to our on-line exhibits to give our Internet patrons a more enriching experience.
