I’m adding some new links to the righthand sidebar, so I thought I’d give a quick overview of the what and why.

I listen to podcasts (audio and video) all the time now. It’s my radio. Lately I’ve come across one called Spark, produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Centre (CBC).  It’s great! All about technology and culture – the host Nora Young picks interesting and timely topics and holds solidly good interviews (nothing more uncomfortable to listen to than a bad interview). In good Web2.0 faith, the website bills itself thus: “Spark is a blog, radio show, podcast and an ongoing conversation about technology and culture. Spark is an online collaboration. Leave your thoughts, stories, and ideas here, and together we’ll make a radio show”.

Do any of you listen to podcasts? What are your favorites?

The second newest link is to The Royal Super Bibbatant (Finnish for librarian?). This blog is written by a former fellow student at the Royal School of Library and Information Studies here in Copenhagen, now a working woman. She writes about daily life in the Danish capital, but all in Swedish, so it’s only for the lucky few (or those who like Google translate).

If you like zines as much as I do then you’ll probably like the blog lower east side librarian, which is also the name of a zine the blogger Jenna Freedman writes. The blog talks a lot of zine culture and zines in libraries, but there are book reviews, interviews and other such stuff. Gotta get my hands on one of her zines.

Finally, and completely non-library related, is Moonshine Washingline. It’s a craft blog of a dear friend in New Zealand who makes the most wonderful hats.
