I used Google.com to perform the search. Using keywords "entertainment," "podcast," and "library," I finally found an article that the Weekly Volcano (http://www.weeklyvolcano.com/article/2185) had written about Jay Bates who performs a show at the the Puyallup Public Library in Washington. On his website, he describes the show as "a one-of-a-kind, live literary arts entertainment program." (http://www.riverandsoundreview.org/aboutRSR.htm)
I then used Google.com to search for Jay Bates, then Itunes for the actual Podcast and found this podcast entitled "Episode 19: LIVE! Phillip Terman, Elea Carey, and Patrick Bradshaw" which was recorded live at the Puyallup Public Library on May 15, 2008. The direct url is: http://www.riverandsoundreview.org/may1508.mp3.
This episode features storytelling by host Jay Bates, interviews fictional writer Elea Carey with excerpts read from her book and a reading by Phillip Terman, showcases original, live music by Patrick Bradshaw, interacts with the live audience through games, and features a performance of the spoof "As the Publishing World Turns." Bates is quoted in this episode to say, "Drama begins where ritual is broken." This is the crux of my passion to bring theatre into libraries.
This podcast was chosen because it is a great example of how performing arts are infiltrated into the library, from storytelling to music to performances. Bates' website describes the program as an effort " to make the literary arts accessible to the public" through performance. (http://www.riverandsoundreview.org/aboutRSR.htm)
