Good ideas. Yes the young of today are embracing this technology. The older (senior) clients may be too set in the old ways though, and don't always have computers at home or even MP3 players.
I think that the Australian War Memorial has got some good podcasts up on iTunes, divided into two types. 1. Collection highlights. 2. Lectures by notable speakers. However they have not put up anything new on iTunes since mid-2006.
They are also putting up video at YouTube.
They are however embedding video and audio (MP3) into the AWM website. It's a good innovation, but I prefer to have the audio on an ipod to listen at a time of my choosing, when I may not have a computer in front of me.
The experience of ABC radio national which has lots of "older (senior)" listeners has shown they are keen to embrace podcasts.
