But 100 would add up to a helluva lot of staff hours in creating the records! I will have a look at iTunes though - I guess we don't just want to repeat what iTunes are doing already.

"Could try harder," some might suggest. iTunes has more than 100. But that is probably the extend of those worth watching. I chip in this time to point you at another crap example of a podcast. (The other one is at the IoP.) Well, that's how they present it, but it is no more than an mp3 file. Not for the first to Mr Anthony Blair has churned out a plodcast. This time it deserves the attention of PSCI-COM because it is with none other than Bill Bryson. And it is supposed to be a about science. It is really just a love in between these two late converts. http://www.number-10.gov.uk/output/Page10500.asp __________________________________________________________________ Michael Kenward / Phone/Fax: +44 (0)1444 401064 / Science Writer & Stuff / Genetically modified words for sale -----Original Message----- From: psci-com: on public engagement with science [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Simon ,Louise Sent: 12 December 2006 14:56 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [PSCI-COM] The pod thing (was RE: [PSCI-COM] Cybersurgery: robots in the operating theatre) Yes, I've been following this thread with interest. As Mike says there are hundreds of science-related podcasts out there, but I think it would be feasible to index the leading ones on the Psci-com web site (http://psci-com.ac.uk). I've gathered together the ones mentioned in this thread, and others of which I'm aware, - apprx 20 in total - and will arrange for a new section to be created (which will be added to, of course). A similar 'resource' thread occurred on Psci-com a few months - that time the topic was science photographic and image libraries. You may be interested to know that we created a section for them on the Psci-com web site at http://www.intute.ac.uk/healthandlifesciences/cgi-bin/browse_pscicom.pl? id=8 9 Louise Louise Simon User Services Wellcome Library 210 Euston Road London NW1 2BE Telephone: +44 (0)20 7611 7316 Fax: +44 (0)20 7611 8369 mailto:[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> The Wellcome Trust is a registered charity, no.210183.

I collated a few on our Library blog a while back: http://nimrlibrary.blogspot.com/search?q=podcast No doubt there are many more by now. Frank Norman, Librarian.
