Australia Radio tips LibriVox

Posted on November 19, 2005 by | Posted in in the press, News | Comments: 4 Comments on Australia Radio tips LibriVox

We appear to have made it to the radio* airwaves in Australia, can anyone (chris?) confirm whether we were released from the internet for general consumption? In any case, we are listed on the net at ABC Radio National’s: WebWatch (with Debbie Spillane and Alex Zaharov-Reutt), along with the Church Sign Generator, which is actually pretty cool, and very addictive.

I am particularly happy because ABC RN is among the most progressive podcasters in public radio worldwide, and in particular they podcast a LibriVox favourite: Books and Writing.

*for those who don’t know, radio is kind of like a wifi-enabled computer except it only recieves, and replays, sound signals.

will podcasting go corporate?

Posted on November 17, 2005 by | Posted in News | Comments: 1 Comment on will podcasting go corporate?

Bicylcemark and Tim from RadioClash have a nice discussion here about podcasting and commericalism…

We at LibriVox are happy to report that we are doggedly committed to being uncommercial, noncorporate, and putting our families into the poorhouse by spending all our time working on a totally volunteer, project, out of the love of literature and the hope that what we are doing might be a very important project for the good of the world.
