Podthoughts

After finishing my podcast, I have all these thoughts, here are just a few, in no particular order.

1. After listening to the podcasts of my classmates, I really wished I got the music sites to play properly so I could incorporate that into my podcast. Those intros/outros really helped set the tone of a piece.

2. I thought I sounded so great when I was doing my bit, but then listening to the finished product, it was all right, but not as great as I wanted it to be. Maybe using a script would be a better option.

3. I could really do a weed-of-the-month podcast. The library world could really use a podcast like that...It could be called, "What Not to Keep" or "Weed Wise" or "Weed Away" or "Something Weeded This Way Goes."

4.Weeding advice for specific sections could be the main focus of podcasts but a few podcasts could be set aside for more general weeding issues. The first episode could answer the question "why weed." Another podcast could be about general criteria for weeding. Another podcast could give suggestions on where to go to find replacements. Another could share ideas on what to do with books/materials once they have been weeded from the collection. Another podcast could include ways to "sell weeding" to the school population since it can be something that has to be defended." Those nuggets could be really useful, and the program could be created by several librarians, not just me.

Could I make this work?...I don't know...Hmm...

p.s. I've postdated this entry because I want it to be near my published podcast, and these are thoughts I woke up with last Sunday morning, so I figure it was better to put them by that date.
