Since Websense sensed forbidden things on all the links that weren't broken, I just went off to google and tried "library + podcast." I found this http://podcast.denverlibrary.org/ which is a podcast version of dial-a-story. I notice they have a partnership with a specific publisher which seems like a great way to launch such a venture.
I'll try the Learning 2.0 links from home. I did set up DenverPL on my Bloglines.
I found YALSA's podcasts about teen library services by noodling around the ALA site rather than a pod directory. Overall, I'm thinking that "podcast" is a bit too focused on the medium rather than the message. Eventually, I expect it will all be more seamless like that YouTube video I embedded last time.

OK, here are my reactions to the podcast directory sites IT blocked:
http://www.podcast.net/ Podcast.net seems quite useful and should be something we guide customers to, not something IT blocks.
http://podcastalley.com/ Podcast Alley appears more enraptured by the medium, though the genre guide works. I had not considered the virtues of podcasting for learning languages. What a good idea!
http://audio.search.yahoo.com/audio Yahoo just presents a search screen which is a bit disconcerting, but allows for specificity, e.g. "science fiction books" which sent me to http://www.sfsite.com/
Great sharing. You can always use a public Internet workstation, too.
