The Perfect Podcast for Librarians

(other than Greg’s podcasts, of course!) - it’s Who said? A Literature Game!

What it is: an audio literature trivia game, delivered as a podcast, if you want it that way.

Every other day or so, I'll make an audio recording from a novel. It will be short passage, always something a character says. Your task will be to guess the character, book and author.

Two ways to play: on the web site, and as a podcast. We are experimenting with the process a little.

  1. All on the web site:  Go here, listen to the clip, then submit your guess using this form.
  2. As a podcast:  If you are set up to receive podcasts you can listen via the RSS feed, then submit your answers via the guessing form.

I'll post hints on the discussion forums.”

I’m also very much enjoying the Make podcasts, along with Greg’s, of course. Sadly, no MLS libraries have subscribed to Make: Technology on Your Time, which makes me think they just don’t know about it. If your library “just doesn’t know about it,” check it out, because it’s a pretty unique title and I’ll bet you’ve got an audience for it. I follow along at home via the blog, podcasts, del.icio.us links, and Flickr pool.
