Nifty little article in the Cheshire (CT) Herald entitled “Librarian Hopes To Attract Teens Via Radio Podcasting”. In short, Sarah Morgan, freshly appointed to the new teen librarian position at Cheshire Public Library, saw an opportunity to get more teens in her library with the alluring blend of creativity and technology.

“Teens who are interested will host a 30-minute ‘episode’ once a month that would include 10 minutes of creative work, 10 minutes of reviews of either literature, movies or video games and a 10-minute event announcement or interviews with other teens. Those involved will have total control over their ’station’ with the help of Morgan working as the ‘producer’.”

Wow. Pretty ambitious. I hope she pulls it off. There’s already an podcast information page on the library’s website. I like her description of the podcast as a “teen-driven cultural magazine.” Good luck Sarah!
