Podcasts would be excellent for our Genealogy/Family History researchers.
It could be used by staff & some of the regular researchers who have become experts in the field of genealogy.
They could do talks on tracing your ancestors from shipping records or convict records or any other facet of family history which was in vogue.
Also, oral histories could be used as podcasts.
Long-term local residents could speak about the area from years ago, reliving their childhood memories. This would be invaluable for local historians.
Things like storytime, book reviews, author talks, upcoming special events - the list is endless really.
I'd say it could be used for library staff training purposes as well.
Say for example rural library workers needed training & because of their remote location couldn't make it to a capital city, podcast training would be an excellent idea.
