Podcasts

I'm having a hard time with this assignment. I found a podcast I wanted to listen to and downloaded Juice software, but I'm having a hard time learning to use it. I subscribed to the podcast, and it indicates that it is downloading,but it's not. It is supposed to be on library survival tips, but I haven't been able to listen to it. I'm not sure how to get the download to begin.

I did listen to a podcast from NPR, "All Things Considered" called "Podcasts, Part of Higher-Tech Education" on using podcasts in the college classroom. I was blown away that the piece was from 2006. I didn't know much about podcasts back then and here a college was already trying them out. Here is the address for that podcast. I put an RSS feed into my Google Reader for NPR, but it's not showing the podcast I listened to. I'm perplexed. I can see how libraries could use podcasts for tutorials on use of the library and available services.

I downloaded a second podcast software, PrimeTime, and I'm having the same problem using it, as with Juice. I wrote to the contact person, so maybe I'll find out what it is I'm missing. I even read the Read Me information this time.

Just now I was looking at Google Reader and I couldn't access the list of podcasts. Maybe today is not a good day to work with technology. I think I'll try again later.
