Help create a podcast that speaks to you!

Inspired by Uncontrolled Vocabulary, I am starting a podcast directed at the library training community.  and I am using talkshoe because you call in on a phone and use a VOIP client.  Yeah!

So far it is called “T is for Training”

I hope to bring together other training professionals who work in or with libraries together to share stories, information and some laughs.

If you are on friendfeed, there is a friendfeed room called T is for Training. Feel free to join and participate.
