It took me a little while to get hooked on podcasts but now I’m all in; I listen to podcasts about Danish rap history, football, crime stories, cycling, food etc. And libraries of cource.
A while back I made the list of library related hashtags and library themed songs which seemed to be of great joy to people around Library Town so I’ve decided to compile a list of library related podcasts as well – there are some really good ones out there.

[…] The involvement of many people in an interesting chat will make the listener’s curiosity even greater. Especially if the invited character is a famous person with many achievements or useful information. People will be more interested in the chat that is presented with a warm and trending theme. In addition to providing information, podcasts that involve multiple speakers will make the conversation more lively and invite listeners to join in the conversation even if only as listeners. Those are 5 tips for making podcasts so that they can increase listeners or achieve the vision and mission. Good luck.Header image Christianlauersen. […]
