LibrivoxWe now have a flickr badge … scroll down and look at the photos to the right. Any public photos tagged “librivox” on flickr will turn up here … so take a pic of your studio, some old books we’re doing, libraries … anything you like, and you’ll see it there eventually.
Oh if you don’t know what flickr is, here’s what they have to say.
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.
See more here.
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.
