Podcasts is very much like online video or radio and you can get audience's attention by engaging them to watch or listen the files. I like the subject options offered by ABC and you can choose the subject or area of interest. Very easy for me to browse and check out the art or lifestyle files. I think it is because I think like a librarian!
I love to get the RSS for new update in case there is some interesting one out there. However, Some podcasts are very long and boring. I would not like to download them on my PC/ipod to waste my memory. I think if you want to use this function in the Library it has to be something interesting and enjoyable. I don't mind to listen to an interview of Paul Brunton but I don't want to listen to a promotion of a library service. I don't mind to listen to a chapter of Harry Potter but I don't want to listen to the new stationary you can get from the Library. I don't mind to watch a celebrity chef to cook but I don't want to listen to the lending policy of the Library.

You are right of course - we need to ensure that when we start podcasting it is good quality and entertaining. Cirque du Soleil strive for "creativity, continuity and attention to detail" ... I think that would work for us in the online broadcasting environment. (oops... I have just outed myself as a major Cirque fan!!)
I wonder if Paul has set up a Google Alert to find out what people say about him on their blogs and websites?
