Behind the Scenes of the Alternative Teen Services Blog: A Podcast
Crystal Niedzwiadek interviewed me about the Alternative Teen Services Blog for a YALSA Podcast. We talked about the technical process of running a blog, spam, censorship, and connecting with the community of teen librarians. You can listen to the podcast here:

The second half of the podcast is with Eli Neiburger and focuses on the AADL Gaming Blog, which is used to establish an online community between the teens and kids that attend gaming tournaments at Ann Arbor District Library. There is some pretty fascinating discussion going on about gaming in libraries. For more information on Gaming, teens, and libraries, I recommend listening to a gaming presentation Eli did at the 2007 gaming in libraries symposium.

Awesome job, so much said and so eloquent!
Hi Stephanie,
This was so much fun to do my first podcast..thanks for posting it! You were both fascinating and it was inspiring to me to start my own gaming blog…baby steps.
I’m actually doing my first Runescape tournament for TTW this year.
