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!

Hi CADL and Michlib! I would love to learn more about libraries in the state that do podcasting. I see CADL does, but are there more? We are in the planning stages of starting our own podcast, here at Southfield. Would you mind sharing your production/editing process, the equipment you use, is there any cost, any mistakes you made and learned from, what platforms you use for hosting or publishing, how often do you publish, what kind of topics do you cover (CADL already touched a bit on this), do you have a theme you follow, and what has the feedback been like? Thank you so much! Sincerely, Katie Katie Rothley, MLIS Adult Services Librarian Southfield Public Library 26300 Evergreen Rd Southfield, MI 48076 (248)796-4380 southfieldlibrary.org
