Bookcast 
Book Talk
Bookcasting is a recorded audio podcast about a book. A bookcast is a movie trailer-like audio review of a book that you can create and share with one another. Free online tools such as Audacity http://audacity.com, G Cast http://gcast.com, or Pod Bean http://podbean.com make recording audio and sharing simple. The podcast should be 2-3 minutes in length and should include a clear description of the genre, characters, plot (without giving away the ending), and setting.
