The Bridgeport Public Library Beardsley Branch is now offering podcast studios.

"You can record podcasts, you can record music, you can record anything you like -- and it's free," said Elaine Braithwaite, city librarian for the Bridgeport Public Library.

Librarian Andre Massa, who works at the Beardsley Branch, has spearheaded an effort to make the location a technological hub for the Bridgeport Public Library System.

"It's amazingly cool. I love the fact that people can come in here, they may have an idea that they otherwise would not be able to do because podcasting equipment is incredibly expensive," Massa said.

Librarian Adam Cleri hosts a program called "The Bridgeport Unmasked Podcast.”

"It's great to host a podcast celebrating the immense good we do here at the Bridgeport Public Library," Cleri said. "The podcast studios are just one more example of that.”
