Psmith & Notes from Underground

Posted on September 13, 2005 by | Posted in upcoming titles | Comments: 19 Comments on Psmith & Notes from Underground

The next choices for LibriVox are:

1. Notes from the Underground, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Find the gutenberg e-text here.

and,

2. Psmith in the City, by P.G. Wodehouse.
Find the gutenberg e-text here.

The objective is to have the chapters recorded ahead of time, and then podcast one at a time in sequence, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (I hope). I hope, soon also, to get some technical help to make this a more reasonable process.

UPDATE
Official LibriVox Chapter Assignments have been made. I’ll be offering a few other options soon too for other volunteers. This project may soon baloon out of control!

boing boing’s got a link to us! (disclaimer: I sent em an email!)

UPDATE:
… and subsequently, we’ve made it to the del.icio.us popular page. cool. Total hits as a result: 10,463 … wow.

I’ve had a few suggestions too about the project, and shortly (I hope) I’ll be writing up a “Call for Volunteers” to see if we can get some non-vocalists to contribute to the project as well, with some technical expertise to try to make this a more robust site that can handle more interest from people and really make a contribution to the global public domain audio library.
