For some reason I am very excited about podcasting whereas web videos not so much.
Like with video I can see the value of podcasting for staff training, but am most excited about what the use could be for the public.
I listened to a podcast from the OCLS about teen events coming up in the library. I think that using podcasts for library promotion is a good idea, to be used for specific events or groups as they have done there, or more generally such as a kind of audio version of the newsletter.
I can see great potential for recording and making available talks and events that have happened in the library. Also for providing library introduction and guides. Basically anything that is available now in printed form could be utilised in a podcast.

You are kind of highlighting why different methods need to be used for library promotion - they will appeal to different people.
