Browsing through podcastalley.com led me to subscribe to three podcasts: MuggleCast, Nobody Likes Onions, and Library Geeks. The first podcast Muggle Cast was basically a news show about anything related to Harry Potter. The hosts didn't have much charisma to keep me engaged and listening. One could simply visit a fansite to keep up on Harry Potter news.Nobody Likes Onions was a little better. It was a podcast disguised as an excuse for some immature guys to try out their offensive, crude jokes. I'd like to share some quotes, but it's NSFW. If you're a fan of Howard Stern, this podcast is for you.
To cap things off, Library Geeks provided an outlet for librarians to interivew various professionals of all different fields. They asked them library related questions like, "What was your first childhood memory of a libary," and "what is the importance of LibraryThing." It's a very dry listen.
The problem with podcasters is their tendency to waste time. It seems that half of the podcast is advertising, bumper music, or dead air. Just get on with it, say what you want to say in a more organized fashion. My short attention span needs this. *What's that? Oooh shiny!*
