This episode of the Librivox Community Podcast marks my (ductapeguy’s) one year anniversary of podcasting. To celebrate, Jim Mowatt and I had a wide ranging skype conversation. I really consider being a Librivox volunteer and helping to produce the community podcast was my University of Podcasting. During the conversation we talk about current news around the Librivox community, as well as my other podcasts, For the Sake of the Song, and White Trash Land.

Sean’s Really Bad Review

Sean and Jim discuss a terrible user review Sean received on podiobooks.com and the librivoxian response to it. The discussion continued into the time honored, “What if I suck?” into styles of reading and the privilege and responsibility it is to be a reader of another person’s words.

Theme Music: For the Sake of the Song (©2003 S. McGaughey)

Last week I was deeply moved by this picture in the Toronto Star on Thursday March 29.

 

angels1.jpg

The picture, by Cathie Coward, from the Hamilton Spectator shows the impression left when a 5 year old boy fell 9 stories from a balcony– and lived to tell the story. That very day I wrote the song, Angels (© 2007 Sean McGaughey). I hope it moves you as much as it moved me. The article and picture can be found here (from the Kitchener-Waterloo Record).

 

Every week the volunteers at Librivox.org choose a public domain poem to be recorded by as many volunteers as possible. This week’s poem is Beautiful Soup by Lewis Carroll from Alice in Wonderland.

Song #2 Beautiful Soup ( Written by Lewis Carroll Arranged by Sean McGaughey). I have dedicated my arrangement of Beautiful Soup to the public domain.

White Trash Land Cover

For a surprise Christmas gift, I recorded the novel White Trash Land by my brother-in-law, Andrew Beatty. Andrew wrote the book a couple years ago and you can read the whole thing on his blog.

The recording of White Trash Land will soon be available as a podcast novel on podiobooks.com. .
Think of it as an old-fashioned radio serial with the internet. Stay tuned for announcements of how to listen to the podcast novel chapter by chapter.
