Hey guys! First of all, I don’t like the term – vodcast. Clearly, podcasts have entered the mainstream for listeners everywhere, but vodcasts have not because my group of people had not heard of it when I brought it up. I think podcasts work because people can listen to them at work or in their car and they don’t have to be constrained to a screen when so much of our lives are laser-focused on screen time. When I think about a video podcast, I immediately think of YouTube videos. Unlike the VHS tapes of the past, these videos are instantly available to be viewed on repeat without being kind and rewinding. Since I have determined that “vodcast” is not a word people use, I am henceforth removing its title from my streaming video.

To come up with a subject for my video, I browsed the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative’s (PPLC) website for information that was new to me, or at the very least things community members may not know the library does. I compiled a list of 5 items ranging from online content to music options to museum passes. I chose Pinellas because I live here. The short list created itself and was not difficult to make.
