I've found podcasts useful, particularly from the State Library. When they have a special speaker and I can't attend the session, it's great to be able to download the podcast to listen to at my leisure. A better use of my time, given that it can take over an hour to travel into Melbourne, and then I've got to come back. I know that people also find them great to keep up with their favourite radio shows or interviews. The ABC has certainly embraced the technology!
Browsed podcast.net. Liked the tag options available although I couldn't find any podcasts about Terry Pratchett. Then looked at podcastalley (really like the name!) and found 3 under pratchett but not about the author. I did find an interesting podcast but, surprise surprise!, couldn't download it. Went back to podcast.net and found some on yoga but still couldn't play them. Frustrating! Tried yahoo and finally could listen to short samples online. Wasn't keen to actually pay for anything though.
My library has added podcasts to it's blog and I can see that podcasts of author visits or storytimes might be of interest to our patrons.
