Week 9. Podcasts and Audio

I looked at some of the podcasts. Some of the book talks were interesting. A nice small snippet of information.

British Library podcasts were easy to listen to and very informative. Lists of podcasts arranged by year.

ABC Online had some interesting podcasts.

I did listen to some of this podcast. Click here to listen EdPod 2008_0410 Thursday 10 April 2008 Popular Podcasts EdPod Radio National.

It is easy to link to a podcast. Just right click and copy shortcut. Go to your blog write your blog highlight some text to click then click the ling option (near left align button) and right click and select past and add URL for the podcast.

Libraries could use Podcasts to feature guest speakers on their Webpage to advertise Book Talks, Youth Activities, and other special activities. Maybe story telling for children and oral history interviews from the Libraries Local History Collection to let patrons know what is available.

Sacrifice
by S. J. Bolton
I loved this book from the very first line. “The corpse I could cope with. It was the context that threw me.”

Sacrifice is about a consultant surgeon Tora Hamilton who lives on one of the Shetland Islands. Tora loves her horses and the novel begins with Tora on a hillside in the rain digging a hole to bury her favourite horse Jamie.

Tora uncovers a body of a woman, perfectly preserved except for her missing heart which had been ripped out.

The woman’s body is examined and three rune marks are discovered carved into her body. During the autopsy other disturbing facts about the woman are revealed which link the woman’s death to an ancient Shetland legend.

Tora becomes involved and uncovers information which results in terrifying threats and unexpected discoveries.

Spider Light
by Sarah Rayne
I loved this thriller. It is a history of a small village Amberwood and some of the inhabitants. The book covers a period of about a hundred years. There is an old house, a cottage, an old mill and an Asylum. There are imprints from the past in the old buildings and noises that just won't go away.

Antonia Weston stays in a small cottage for a holiday to get over a tragedy but someone does not want her to forget.
