Keep up to date with podcasts – Technology and the Web

Posted by LibeRaCe on September 11, 2009

If you don’t have time to trawl the web, scan through your RSS feeds or you just miss the sound of a friendly human voice on the Interweb, you can still keep up to date with lots of technological goings on by downloading a few podcasts. You can then listen to these at your leisure (or for the more adventurous download them onto your MP3 player or mobile phone).

Some accessible and interesting shows include :

BBC Digital Planet – http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/digitalp

Guardian Tech Weekly – http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/series/techweekly

CNET UK – http://crave.cnet.co.uk/podcast/

ComputerWeekly – http://www.computerweekly.com/Home/podcasts.htm

TiTT – Tuck in To Tech http://tuckintotech.com/ which is presented by two teenagers from Northern England

Coleg Llandrillo staff and students – If you want to know more about podcasts (how to find/download/play them) or the Web in general, just call down to the Library and IT Workshop in K block and we’ll be happy to help!
