PODCASTS (Thing 22)

Podcasts are useful if a person wants to download the podcasted items to an iPod, computer, or some such device or if they themselves want to make a podcast on the internet. There are several sites which have an incredible number of podcasts listed there. Podcast Alley has a listing by subjects/genres and if one clicks on that, he/she will get a lot of podcasts on that topic. The site can also be searched by terms. Podscope.com can be searched for the spoken words found within an audio or video podcast and works like any search engine. Get A Podcast and Podcast.com are other sites where one can search for podcasts. On all these sites a person has to register in order to download many of the podcasts and definitely to upload podcasts and comments. One can spend all day going from podcast to podcast, but much of it seems to be personal opinions and personal creative uploads.
