Are you or your library interested in producing your own podcast? Phil Morehart, American Libraries Associate Editor and host of the magazine's popular Dewey Decibel podcast (https://soundcloud.com/dewey-decibel-703453552), leads a panel of librarian podcasters in a conversation about podcasting: Why they started their podcasts; why librarians should (or shouldn't) start one; how to make the case for a podcast; what equipment is needed; what topics to cover in a podcast; and more. The panel will also share stories about launching and maintaining their own successful podcasts.
