Capital Area District Libraries Podcast
by Duimstra,Scott 24 Jul '18

24 Jul '18

Hi all, At CADL, we’ve been using podcasts as a way of promoting our services and engaging with our partners. I wanted to share with you the latest podcast by the Capital Area District Libraries<https://audioboom.com/posts/6943084-july-executive-edition-podcast> where I interviewed the Mayor of Lansing Andy Schor, and the President of ALA Loida Garcia-Febo. We’ve had success with our CADLcast where we interview library staff, performers and library partners about services and events. Building off of that podcast, I worked with Trent Smiley and our fantastic Marketing Department to develop the Executive Edition podcast where I would interview our municipality partners, area school superintendents and other community leaders so that we could give them a platform to talk about their areas of focus. From the library’s perspective, I use the interviews as a way to see how we can partner with or assist them in achieving their goals or projects. Also, I try to throw in a Harwood Community Conversations question or two which then leads to a discussion outside of the podcast. While it won’t break the top 10 on iTunes, it’s a great way to give your partners a platform and to begin a conversation with them. Just an FYI, when you listen, don’t take a sip of coffee every time I say fantastic because, if you do, you’ll be heavily caffeinated by the end. 😊 Have a fantastic day!
