Podcasts

Important note regarding this 'thing' : it involves using headphones in the office, which means your colleagues have carte blanche to mock you mercilessly without the danger of you realising. Nothing new there then. Anyhow, I was feeling a bit sceptical about the professional applications of podcasts - not that that stopped me laughing like a hyena whilst listening to the radio 4 comedy podcasts from the News Quiz. However, having also listened to the podcast of the 'gems of the Bodleian library' I see that there are uses for this technology to promote both the library and its collections. Time to get rid of the earphones and try to catch some of the ridicule doubtless coming in my direction as I write!
