I used http://www.google.com/ to find my podcast. The link to the podcast is http://www.hopkintonschools.org/hhs/library/podcasts/sleeping.mp3, and it is titled Isinglass Teen Read Award BooktalksHopkinton High School & Hopkinton Middle School Library.
This podcast consists of oral book summaries given over books students read and vote for each year. I chose the podcast over Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie, a book that is on our Texas Classics list for students to read this year. I chose this podcast because it is my topic in action. Librarians can collaborate with teachers to have students listen to the podcasts and choose what books they want to read based on the summary given. This is a great way for audio learners to hear about a book and find something that grabs their interest. I think this could also be adapted so students create the podcasts and review books so other students hear which books they liked and what they recommend.
