This morning I recorded the first chapter of The Man of Bronze onto MP3. Audacity is perfectly functional and perfectly free. My USB headphones worked fine too. So I guess that means I can podcast, huh?

I want to get a couple of chapters ahead, but then I'll start weekly Doc Savage podcasts, a chapter at a time.

You should come groove with the cool cats at LibriVox, man.

I will completely offer them my MP3s. I think they're doing neat stuff. But they don't want single readers for any given work, at least not when you're getting started, so...

I understand where they're coming from, mind you. Just doesn't fit what I want to do exactly.

Do what?

From the forum section on soloing:

"Some volunteers have asked us if they can record a whole book for LibriVox and the answer is: yes please! However, recoding a book is a lot harder than you might think.

It's a very good idea to read a chapter for one of our collaborative projects before you start a solo project -- you'll get feedback from experienced volunteers and an idea of the work and time involved in recording an entire book."

There are a ton of solo works in progress.

But anyway, I wasn't necessarily saying you should do this particular thing under the auspices of Librivox. I was just saying Librivox Good.

Ah so. Something or other I read seemed discouraging, but I may have been off.

In general they seem really cool. When I throw the site up for this, I completely intend to link to LibriVox a lot, and I'll cite 'em in the intros.
