I have been an ITunes devotee for some time, so I have not looked at other podcast download sites. I explored two provided for us on the KCLS Intranet and found much more interesting content on the Yahoo Podcast page than the Podcast.net page.
I used keyword searching for both, but the Yahoo page simply seemed to have more interesting content with regard to podcasts in general. I subscribed to the Science Friday podcast. I noticed that some libraries are simply posting every program that they host, and I think that it may be a waste time. Not all programs transfer well as Podcasts. Yahoo seemed to have more content that was specifically designed for podcasts, and topics seemed interesting from a professional point of view, but none seemed to be consistent in their publication. They didn't seem to be suitable choices for Bloglines.
Back to Podcast.net. I added Kankakke Public Library's program podcast series which has 52 episodes to Bloglines. I'll take a look at it occasionally to see if there are any adult programming ideas that I could glean from them.
