YouTube is fun. I have used it for personal enjoyment as well as for reference. One time a patron was looking for an example of the bluegrass playing style of Grandpa Jones (later of Hee Haw fame). Sure enough, I found an old b&w clip on YouTube. When Dreamgirls was released and Jennifer Hudson was receiving so much publicity, I was curious about whether YouYube had clips from the original Broadway production. Having grown up an hour from Manhattan, our television stations were NY stations and we had commercials for Broadway shows. I found the commercials that ran all the time for Dreamgirls as well as Jennifer Holliday's Tony Awards performance, which still gives me chills.
For the Professional Collection blog I enjoy posting YouTube videos that are educational or amusing in a library-related way.
I played around with Podcast Alley because I wanted to add Goodnight Burbank to this blog but I could not get it to work for me. As far as downloading audio, I haven't done much, but the last time I went to Mexico I did prep with some Spanish and I loaded a book for the plane.
This is my selection for my YouTube posting here:
