Using the database www.podcastdirectory.com I found a delightful podcast that is great for both students and librarians alike.
Reading Rockets presents Meet the Authors (http://www.podcastdirectory.com/podcasts/52271) is a series of video interviews with authors of popular children's books. These books range from ones that are targets for early childhood, like the author of Arthur, Marc Brown, to books that target an older student such as Jack Gantos, the author of the Joey Pigza series.
In the videos the authors discuss inspiration and interests that led to the creation of these popular stories. This would be a great podcast to include on grade level ipods that are provided for each grade level in my current school. What a wonderful special treat for students who finish early!
