Listen up - Great Arts Podcasts!

Your mp3 player can be a terrific source of arts information. Here are a few sources of great downloads to listen in on at your desk, in your car, while you walk your dog. All are free!

1. Iowa Arts Council's Iowa Roots broadcasts: These are broadcast on Iowa Public Radio ever Saturday evening, but you can listen to them anytime. A couple of options: go to the IAC's Iowa Roots page for 5 seasons' worth of recorded programs, or download recent programs directly from Iowa Public Radio.

2. The National Endowment for the Arts has launched a new podcast channel. A free podcast will be released each Thursday featuring one-on-one interviews with everyone from NEA Jazz Masters to leading arts experts to National Medal of Arts winners and more. The latest listens include conversations with David Stull, Dean of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, U.S. Poet Laureate Kay Ryan, and NEA Jazz Master Hank Jones. Coming to iTunes later this year, as well!

3. Technology in the Arts podcasts from the Center for Arts Management and Technology, feature "entertaining dialogue between hosts Brad Stephenson and Jason Hansen and occasional guest contributor David Dombrosky as they interview artists and arts managers, dish out tech tips, review new products and answer listener arts/tech questions." The IAC's web designer recommends these podcasts for staying up to date with technology issues in the arts.
