#16 Podcasts

Used Podcast.net to find 'Book Lounge' which contains weekly interviews with authors featuring books from Doubleday Canada, Random House Canada, etc. I subscribed to that podcast via the RSS feed. I listened to a podcast with Mark Haddon, the author of 'The curious incident of the dog in the night-time: a novel', who discussed his new novel 'A spot of bother'. I read the book and didn't think it was a patch on his first novel, in fact, I found the main character, George, somewhat annoying. I suppose it is hard to follow-up a fantastic first novel.

Uses for podcasts in the State Library of Victoria - perhaps a regular podcast on upcoming events, exhibitions, learning programmes or other interesting news.
