Listen to Librivox Community Podcast Show #57— Ductapeguy’s Podversary
[audio:http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_community/librivox_community_podcast_57.mp3]
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.
Topics Discussed:
