Podcasting
I searched Yahoo Podcasts using the terms "book reviews," "reading" and "books" and subscribed to three.
- NY Times Book Reviews
- Slate Explainer Podcasts (this is a good one)
- The Kissy Bits - Romance Writing Without Cooties
I was able to add these to my Bloglines account but am having a problem with Kissy Bits. Somehow the podcast was feeding in 45 speed instead of 33 1/3! I deleted it from my list and tried again but now am not able to even get Bloglines to recognize it. It's linking to the blog address instead of the podcast. Oh well, I guess I really didn't want to know Kiki's tips on how to add emotion to a romance novel. For those of you experiencing the same problem read HB's comment on this post. Since there is no fixing it without downloading I won't worry about it. I've discovered that I can listen to the Kissy Bits podcast through the blog so I will add that to my feeds and get around it that way.

Marlo- That chipmunking effect is common in podcasts that are sampled at at a different rate then it is uploaded and compressed at. There's not much you can do at your end.
Which podcast directory are you using? I have had the best luck with Yahoo Podcasts. This is what I did - I registered with them using my current yahoo username & password. I searched "npr books" which brought up the NPR Book review podcast. I clicked on "subscribe." I right clicked on the RSS address,selected "copy shortcut," then pasted that into my Bloglines. Good luck!
