Podcasts


We are experimenting with using Podcasts as a new delivery tool to supply information to park visitors. Listed below are our first test Podcasts. After you try them out, please email your impressions and suggestions. We would really like to hear what you think. Your comments will let us know if we are heading in the right direction and provide us with ideas for future content.

Video Podcasts are big and a broadband connection will most likely be needed to download them.

These files are also playable on your computer using QuickTime or iTunes.
