Problem finding Podcasts and Videos

I just saw a post by Mark Oehlert -Help Needed: Long Car Ride Ahead and I Want to Load Up on the Best Podcasts

Makes me realize that we don't have good sources to find podcasts or videos that appeal to a particular group of people, e.g., folks involved in eLearning. I find them randomly through blog posts. But, if I go to YouTube and search for videos, I will occasionally find good ones, but normally it's a needle in a haystack.

There must be a better way.

    Tony,

    You're right: there are several podcast and video directories out there, but I haven't seen any that have job- or field-specific content (videos, podcasts, rss feeds, etc.). You wouldn't necessarily need to host the content - you'd just have to link to it. This wouldn't be too difficult to build, either. Let me know if you need a hand tackling a project like this. Sounds like a great idea! :)

    Hi Tony,

    There are loads and loads podcast search engines. The ones that come to mind are Podzinger, Yahoo Podcasts, Podcast 411. Robin Goode has a post on his blog that lists them.

    SyberWorks also has two e-Learning Podcast Series:

    The SyberWorks LMS e-Learning Implementation Podcast

    &

    The SyberWorks e-Learning Podcast Series

    Hope this helps,

    Tony,

    #1 You owe me some links to good podcasts. ;-)

    #2 What about starting a del.icio.us tag for podcasts for e-learning?

    B.J. - you're right that it seems that it should be relatively easy to have lists of resources that would appeal to a particular group of individuals. Seems there should be something that does that already.

    Janet - that's a very cool list of resources!

    Mary Kay - if I'm looking for content that relates to a person interested in eLearning, human performance, etc. would those places yield much?
