While I was over at Podscope, checking to see if they've indexed my content yet (nope!?!?!), I discovered another LIS-friendly podcast feed. From the Digital Media ZONE at the U. of Missouri's School of Information Science & Learning Technologies comes the SISLT Library Science Hour feed. Unfortunately, the feed is a bit outdated and built in reverse, so the most recent episode in the feed is a) more than a month old, although there are newer shows and b) at the bottom of the feed rather than the top, which results in iPodder grabbing the oldest item rather than the newest. I gather that the end of the semester is responsible for the lack of updating, which is understandable.
This is ideal content to be distributed via podcast. The episode I'm listening to is an interview with a student who ended up on the Caldecott committee. Surprisingly interesting. I hope that, being a "Digital Media ZONE," someone will ultimately pay a little more attention to the podcasting angle, but at least they're already well on their way.
