This was a really interesting exercise. I have added a feed to the British National Public Radio Books blog, where there are many podcasts about or by contemporary authors. I can see many ways to use this on our website- but I would like to know more about the legality of it all. For example, there is a podcast of Ian Rankin reading an extract from his latest book, Exit Music. How much more interesting our online booklist pages would be if we could have a link to this podcast next to the picture of the cover, summary & link to the catalogue! But is that ok to do since it is not our podcast? Is it like linking to another website, where it is ok as long as you acknowledge & don't make it look like your own content?
I also found a podcast interview with Alice Pung, who gave an author talk for us recently. How cool if we could have had a link to this podcast on the promo webpage- & then added a podcast of her talk later. If anyone out there is doing this or knows the "rules" I would really like to hear from you!
