Bill Furbee writes: “Several librarians across the country are using their research and tech skills to create podcasts that capture community histories—especially those perspectives that are often forgotten or marginalized. Many in the profession find that podcasting is easy to learn, and that audio brings a vibrance and immediacy that often can’t be replicated with the written word. Another reason for this medium’s popularity is the low barrier to entry, as library staffers are privy to the many free tools that are now available for recording, editing, and hosting podcasts.”
