Dear Feedburner subscribers,
We’re going to discontinue this podcast feed. It’s a duplicate of our main feed and we just don’t have time to keep it up-to-date. You’ll still be able to receive our podcast (three chapters a week plus Weekly Poetry) if you download some podcatching software (Juice and iTunes are both free) and subscribe to our feed: http://librivox.org/podcast.xml (paste that url into the “subscribe to podcast” field in your favorite podcatching software or click the iTunes one-click button in the right sidebar at librivox.org)
